Biodiesel Industry Looking for Progress in 2021

During the recent National Biodiesel Conference and Expo, the National Biodiesel Board celebrated the industry’s many achievements in the face of adversity. 

The NBB hosted more than 550 biodiesel and renewable diesel producers, distributors, retailers, and other industry advocates and partners to talk about the direction of the industry. 

The NBB has set a goal of six billion gallons of production by 2030. “Our industry has seen its fair share of challenges over the years, but I am proud to say that the biodiesel and renewable diesel industries never gave up, even in the middle of a pandemic,” says NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen. 

“Our members continually beat expectations year after year, and there’s a lot to be excited about as we move forward.” 

The group shared updates from each of its core program areas, including federal affairs. 

“Emerging proposals in Washington that would decarbonize the energy and ag sectors, modernize transportation infrastructure, and incentivize research and development can provide new market opportunities for biodiesel,” says Kurt Kovarik, NBB Vice President of Federal Affairs. 

The group also discussed state programs that are driving demand for a low-carbon future, as well as sustainability, communications, and outreach and development programs.
