NASF submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its proposed changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). In the letter, NASF highlights opportunities for the treatment of woody biomass under the RFS and the missed opportunity for EPA to bolster crucial markets for forest management, including wildfire risk reduction.
“We see an opportunity through this current stakeholder engagement for EPA to move forward in establishing RFS biomass policy that is complementary to the agency’s public policies on the benefits of biomass. Established and emergent biomass industry technologies with ample room for growth stand to benefit from such policies while improving the health of the nation’s forest resources.”
