The Algal Biomass Organization (ABO), the leading trade association for Algae fuel industry, applauds the leadership of Senator Barbara Boxer, Chair of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, for including the RFS amendment offered by Senator Jeff Bingaman, Chair of the Senate Energy Committee, and Senator Tom Carper in the Chairman`s mark of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. 

The amendment supports advanced green biofuel feedstocks, and recognizes the potential of algae to reduce CO2 emissions, create jobs and increase the nation`s energy independence.

The “Advanced Green Biofuels” amendment establishes greenhouse gas reduction targets for the fuels produced from the renewable biomass and clarifies that algae and other renewable biomass which meet these standards qualify under the RFS.
