BIODIESEL * USA - backers push mandate to 'save industry'
Des Moines,IA,USA -The Des Moines Register, by DAN PILLER -March 20, 2009: -- With at least four biodiesel plants in Iowa idle because of poor market conditions, advocates in the Iowa Legislature have proposed Iowa's first biofuels mandate that would require all diesel fuel sold in Iowa to be a biodiesel blend beginning July 1... The mandate would replace the state's 3-cent-per-gallon state income tax deduction for retailers for whom biodiesel accounts for at least 50 percent of their fuel sales...

When asked about Iowa's proposed mandate for biodiesel fuel, Fowler said: “I understand what they're doing, but I hear it takes as much fuel to produce a field of soybeans as the biodiesel it produces.” The proposed mandate is now being considered by the Iowa Legislature) Labels: biodiesel
