The National Biodiesel Board welcomes Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue’s new directive for higher biodiesel blends.
Perdue updated members of the House Ag Committee about it,
“We’ll be doing a higher blends infrastructure incentive program of
$100-Million in helping the retailers to move to the infrastructure that can
support ethanol E-15 and B20 and higher.”
Perdue says they’re taking applications and the awards will
be competitive, “Really, to make sure that we get skin in the game from the
retailers as well as just accepting a grant.”
Perdue has also directed the USDA fleet to increase its purchases of biodiesel and renewable diesel blends by up to three million gallons.
