- 2. BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION2 Existing and Planned Biorefineries Currently 29 states have at least one existing or planned biorefinery, 85 facilities in all. Innovation includes renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels. Commercial and pilot facilities have created 7,500 permanent employment opportunities and more than 6,000 construction jobs. Companies have invested $5.8 billion in private capital. 100 million gallons of commercial cellulosic biofuel coming online in 2014. Additional 100 million gallons in planning for future years.
- 3. BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY ORGANIZATION3 EPA Proposed RVO: Impact on the Environment Is Clear Decreased use of biofuels automatically increases use of petroleum and associated CO2e emissions. Undercutting development of advanced biofuels foregoes future emission reductions. Effect is as large as adding 5.9 million cars to the road or opening 7.5 new coal-fired power plants. 1,700,000 1,750,000 1,800,000 1,850,000 1,900,000 1,950,000 2,000,000 2,050,000 2,100,000 2,150,000 2,200,000 2,250,000 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Emissions (CO2e) under Modeled RFS (thousand metric tons per year) Source: GREET1.2013, w/LUC Emissions (CO2e) under Statutory RFS (thousand metric tons per year) Source: GREET1.2013, w/LUC

Editor's Notes
- #3 The cellulosic industry has made visible progress in commercialization, with commercial-size, pioneer production facilities reaching construction completion and commissioning phases. Stability in the RFS is crucial at the present stage.EPA’s proposed rule has done damage, chilling investment in the sector.First generation ethanol and biodiesel production capacity provides infrastructure for next-generation technologies. It also provides supply chain logistics for residues and other cellulosic feedstocks. EPA’s proposal to put the RFS on a (quote-unquote) “manageable trajectory” should trigger an assessment of the impact on a range of economic and environmental measurements.
- #4 BIO recently published an analysis of the impact of EPA’s proposal on greenhouse gas emissions. We built on a recent analysis by Michael Wang of Argonne National Labs, which found that the GHG emission profile of biofuels are rapidly improving as technology improves. But the environmental impact of U.S. petroleum use continues to get worse – as the US relies more and more on Canadian oil sands. So our major finding is that if more of the US petroleum fuel mix comes from Canadian oil sands – which is what will happen with the proposed changes to the RFS -- the resulting increase in GHG emissions will be unavoidable. Because the RFS is the only Congressionally authorized greenhouse gas reduction program, EPA cannot afford backsliding.
