ANSI, NIST holds meeting on biofuels standardization

ANSI, NIST holds meeting on biofuels standardization

The United States and the European Union have expressed strong interest in making biofuels a commodity for trade. Compatible standards will be among the chief topics of discussion at the upcoming EU-U.S. Summit in Washington, D.C., which intends to launch a new trans-Atlantic economic partnership aimed at harmonizing regulations, technical standards, environmental protection and trade security.

In advance of the Summit, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held a March 28, 2007 meeting to develop input related to biodiesel and bioethanol standardization issues. Input developed will be used to inform the U.S. delegation to the EU-U.S. Summit, as requested by the U.S. Department of State.
