Biofuel Producers Receive Certification for Sustainability

How can consumers be assured that biofuels are sustainable for the environment and communities, as well as for businesses? The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) and its implementing organization, the RSB Services Foundation, are finding the way. This week, they announced new certifications for two biofuel producers.

From the RSB Services Foundation web site :
" The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) is an international multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together farmers, companies, non-governmental organizations, experts, governments, and inter-governmental agencies concerned with ensuring the sustainability of biofuels production and processing. Participation in the RSB is open to any organization working in a field relevant to biofuels sustainability. "

This past week, the RSB Services Foundation announced the certification of Dynamic Fuels (Louisiana), which produces renewable diesel from animal byproducts, and Addax Bioenergy (Sierra Leone), which will begin producing ethanol from sugarcane in 2013. Last fall, the Foundation announced the certification of Global Clean Energy Holdings Inc. (California), which produces biofuels, biomass and renewable chemical feedstocks from jatropha in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Click here for links to the announcements and project descriptions.
