Support for a new sustainable biofuels and biochemicals industry is important at all levels of government. The Renewable Fuel Standard provides incentives and mandates for producing cellulosic ethanol and advanced biofuels. State governments can provide more regional incentives such as a clean fuel standard. Local governments can facilitate finding potential locations for biorefineries in their communities.
