• implement a comprehensive "systems policy approach'' to federal support for deployment of advanced biofuels and bio-based products that recognises the need for co-ordinated end-to-end infrastructure development;
  • inject immediate capital for bio-refinery construction, feedstock development and fuel-delivery infrastructure, by boosting funding and quickly issuing loans and loan guarantees;
  • ensure a strong market for advanced biofuels by maintaining the Renewable Fuel Standard, addressing the 'blend wall' that limits the mandatory amount of biofuel in gasoline, and extending the cellulosic producer tax credit; and
  • provide incentives for the range of bio-based products produced by bio-refineries, by ensuring that facilities are eligible for grant and loan programmes.
