Kansas City Law Firm Talks Biofuels

Biofuels are produced through biological processes, such as agriculture and anaerobic digestion, rather than fuels produced by geological extractions of fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum, which come from prehistoric biological matter. Biofuels can be derived directly from plants, or indirectly from agricultural, commercial, domestic and/or industrial wastes. Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the EPA is authorized to set annual quotas dictating what percentage of the total amount of motor fuels consumed in the U.S. must be represented by biofuel blended into fossil fuels. Companies that refine, import or blend fossil fuels are obligated to meet certain individual renewable fuel quotas based on the volume of fuel they introduce into the market. Renewable natural gas (RNG) derived from biomethane is the favored alternative of the EPA and is now in a six year cycle of high demand for the industry. The credits for participation are now trading higher than the cost of production and may offer an investment opportunity. The Department of Energy, through its Clean Cities program housed within their Vehicle Technologies Office, evaluates alternative fuels. With the benefit of a cleaner environment, a local company (Untapped Fuel) has strived to find the most successful solutions for converting non-performing biogas into a profitable alternative fuel. This has particular applicability for fleet vehicles. Currently, Missouri maintains an aggressive position regarding biofuels, while Kansas regards it less attractively.
