Biofuels in the USA

Implementing biomass-related energy programs is easier at the state level. Currently, five states including California, Ohio, Hawaii, Minnesota and Montana have either a Renewable Fuel Standard or have passed legislation to use biofuels. Until recently, biomass has been on the backburner for many renewable energy advocates, but the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), numerous agriculture organizations and several Members of Congress have been promoting this renewable energy source for years.
