EU imposes steep penalty import duties of $.86 to $1.36 per gallon on US biodiesel, Effective March 13 2009. (from BiofuelsDigest.com)

The European Union said it will impose temporary import duties on US biodiesel, to offset the $1 per gallon biodiesel subsidy paid to US producers by the federal government.

Reuters is reporting that duties have been assessed on a company-by-company basis and include: ArcherDaniels Midland, 86 cents per gallon; Cargill, 90 cents; Imperium Renewables, 96 cents; Green Earth Energy Fuels, 93 cents; World Energy Alternatives, 96 cents; Peter Cremer North America and remaining biodiesel producers will pay $1.36 per gallon.

Following is from National Biodiesel Board's October 2008 Biodiesel Bulletin:
 

Today the U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 1424, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, by a 263 to 171 margin. The Senate approved the bill on Wed., Oct. 1 by a 74-25 margin. In addition to addressing the crisis facing the financial markets, H.R. 1424 contains a tax package that extends expiring tax provisions, including the biodiesel tax incentive.

Specifically, H.R. 1424:

    Extends the biodiesel tax incentive for one year through Dec. 31, 2009. The incentive is currently set to expire on Dec. 31, 2008.
     

    Provides that all biodiesel, regardless of feedstock used to produce the fuel, qualifies for the $1 per gallon biodiesel incentive. Currently, biodiesel produced from yellow grease is eligible for a 50 cents per gallon tax incentive.
     

    Closes the so-called "splash-and-dash" loophole. Splash-and-dash is where foreign finished fuel is sent to the U.S.; splash-blended to claim the tax incentive; and then shipped to a third country for final use. There is clearly no energy or tax policy justification for these transactions, and it has been long-standing NBB policy that the splash-and-dash loophole should be closed. The legislation approved by the Senate provides that effective May 15, 2008, fuel produced outside the U.S. for use outside the U.S. does not qualify for the biodiesel tax incentive.
     

    Properly defines the $1 renewable diesel tax incentive to exclude co-processed renewable diesel.

America is addicted to foreign oil

It's an addiction that threatens our economy, our environment and our national security. It touches every part of our daily lives and ties our hands as a nation and a people. US is spending $700 billion per year on importing oil, we are using 25% of world oil production and are only 4% of population.

President Bush Unveils Dramatic Alternative Fuels Strategy, calling for more biodiesel use and larger Renewable Fuels Standard:

WASHINGTON– President Bush tonight called for an enhanced Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) that would include biodiesel and other alternative fuels to help make America more energy independent. In his State of the Union speech, the President said: “It’s in our vital interest to diversify America’s energy supply,” and included in his strategy a call to “...expand the use of clean diesel vehicles and biodiesel fuel.”

America's largest firms pledge to go green:(from CNNMoney.com)

Some of America's largest corporations pledged Monday to support green power, responding to a challenge posed by the Environmental Protection Agency.


So-called green power is generated from renewable energy sources like the sun, wind and biomass such as plants or garbage and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming.

The EPA is calling for Fortune 500 companies to double their green power purchases to more than 5 billion kilowatt hours by the end of next year - or enough electricity to run more than 400,000 homes in the U.S. a year.

DOE Selects Six Cellulosic Ethanol Plants for Up to $385 Million in Federal Funding:

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Samuel W. Bodman today announced that DOE will invest up to $385 million for six biorefinery projects over the next four years. When fully operational, the biorefineries are expected to produce more than 130 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol per year. This production will help further President Bush’s goal of making cellulosic ethanol cost-competitive with gasoline by 2012 and, along with increased automobile fuel efficiency, reduce America’s gasoline consumption by 20 percent in ten years.

DOE and USDA Award $5.7 Million for Biobased Fuels Research:

DOE and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced on August 9th that they have awarded nine grants totaling $5.7 million for research in biobased fuels to accelerate the development of alternative fuel resources. The research will focus on genomics that will allow woody plant tissues such as alfalfa, sorghum, wheat, and other grasses to be grown in large quantities to produce renewable fuels, including ethanol. DOE granted $3.9 million to six projects, and USDA has granted $1.8 million to three projects, all of which will be supported for up to three years. The awardees include six universities in Indiana, Texas, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Kansas, and Georgia; two non-profit research organizations in Oklahoma and Washington, D.C.; and a national laboratory in New York. See the DOE press release.



Thermal Conversion turns almost anything to oil:

The process is designed to handle almost any waste product imaginable, including turkey offal, tires, plastic bottles, harbor-dredged muck, old computers, municipal garbage, cornstalks, paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, oil-refinery residues, even biological weapons such as anthrax spores. According to Brian Appel, chairman and CEO of Changing World Technologies, waste goes in one end and comes out the other as three products, all valuable and environmentally benign: high-quality oil, clean-burning gas, and purified minerals that can be used as fuels, fertilizers, or specialty chemicals for manufacturing.

Changing World Technologies has been working for several years to develop and fine tune this technology, and it really is amazing.
