While in Washington, D.C., to advocate for biodiesel industry jobs across the country, National Biodiesel Board members selected their trade association leadership Nov. 30. The board reflects the wide range of member companies in the biodiesel industry from feedstock operations to producers.
“The National Biodiesel Board is the sole organization representing American made biodiesel’s entire value chain and renewable diesel interests,” said NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen. “Our strong team of leaders from all sectors of the industry continue to move this American-made fuel forward. We look forward to continuing our efforts to secure strong markets for America’s advanced biofuel and the nearly 64,000 jobs we represent.”
