The US biodiesel tax incentive is working as intended to create jobs across the country and reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, according to testimony submitted by the National Biodiesel Board (NBB) Thursday to the House of Representative Ways and Means Committee.
"While we understand the pressures facing Congress, this is the wrong time to pull support from a growing American industry that is a rare bright spot in this economy," said Anne Steckel, NBB vice-president of federal affairs. "Our industry is having a record year of production, and the tax incentive is a key ingredient in that success. Stripping the incentive away this year would put thousands of jobs in jeopardy."
Steckel's written testimony was submitted to the committee for a hearing on energy tax policy and tax reform. In it, she highlighted the biodiesel industry's rebound this year after the biodiesel tax incentive was reinstated following a one-year lapse in 2010.
