A U.S. budget bill being being crafted by the House will include $1 billion in funding for biofuels, reports Iowa Capital Dispatch. If passed, the funding would go to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the use of expanding the use of biofuels and upgrading biofuel infrastructure.
“With the right infrastructure investments, we can quickly expand the availability of this low carbon fuel across the U.S.,” Axne, D-3rd District, said in a news release. “To fight climate change, we can’t just keep arguing over what one policy is best to cut emissions. We need to use every tool in our toolbelt — both renewables and electric — to meet the challenge we’re facing.”
