    Today in Biofuels Opinion: “Without access to sustainable energy – predictable, abundant, affordable and environmentally sound energy – the entire travel and tourism industry will continue to be battered by volatile fuel prices.”

    Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa on indirect land use change : “ First of all, there’s no science behind it and EPA ought to only be making their decisions based on science . And then you get into the ridiculous situation that somewhere around the world somebody’s waiting to plow up an acre of virgin soil just because they’re waiting to see if Chuck Grassley sells a little more corn for ethanol. I think that’s a ridiculous combination that doesn’t face the real-world test.” Sam Gilliland, chairman and CEO of Sabre Holdings, parent company of Travelocity : “ Without access to sustainable energy – predictable, abundant, affordable and environmentally sound energy – the entire travel and tourism industry will continue to be battered by volatile fuel prices. A biofuel industry could be a major generator of employment and wealth for the U.S. and the developing world, but to achieve this, we need a comprehensive U.S. energy policy that calls for viable fuel competition and sustainable energy.”

    Verbio biodiesel production falls 18 percent; company says German demand has collapsed on high feedstock costs, low diesel prices and higher taxes

    In Germany, Verbio said that its biodiesel production has fallen from 93,907 in the first quarter of 2009 to 78,866 tonnes in Q1 2009 , compared to a production capacity of 112,000 tonnes per quarter. The company said that high feedstock prices and falling prices for fossil diesel have combined with rising German taxes on biodiesel to nearly kill off demand for biodiesel in Germany. Rapeseed oil prices have increased by 100 euros per tonne this year. Germany recently announced that biodiesel blends would be limited by mandate to 5.25 percent of total diesel sales, instead of the 6.25 percent announced in the past as a 2009 target.
