Green Blog: Court Faults E.P.A.'s Biofuels Mandate

A federal appeals court has thrown out part of the Environmental Protection Agency?s biofuels mandate, saying that it was based on a wishful assessment of how much cellulosic fuel could be produced.

So far, producers have had a hard time generating the volume that would be needed to meet the cellulosic fuel quota set for refiners, which is part of an effort by the Obama administration to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Cellulosic fuel is generated from agricultural waste and even household garbage through a process using bacteria, catalysts and the digestive juices of microorganisms.

The text of the ruling is here.
