Biofuels pipeline legislation introduced

May 11, 2009

U.S. Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), John Thune (R-SD) and Tim Johnson (D-SD) recently introduced legislation authorizing loan guarantees for the construction of renewable fuel pipeline projects. The majority of biofuels are produced in the Midwest and the U.S. currently lacks the infrastructure to efficiently transport liquid fuels to population centers on either coast. In addition to being safer than trucks or trains, pipelines have the lowest energy input requirements and produce fewer carbon emissions than other forms of biofuels transportation.
