U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) reintroduced bipartisan legislation with Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to act on languishing applications under the renewable fuel standard, known as RFS, including moving forward with allowing renewable electricity made from biomass to qualify if it is used to power electric vehicles.

This would level the playing field among fuel sources and enable biomass power plants to generate and sell credits under the RFS program to refiners that must meet national renewable fuel targets. Doing so would spur the deployment of electric vehicles and provide another source of revenue for New Hampshire’s wood-fire power plants.
