Florida Fuel Production Standards
Alternative Fuels Study
The Florida Energy and Climate Commission (FECC) is required to conduct a study to evaluate and recommend lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with all renewable fuels including biodiesel, renewable diesel, biobutanol, and ethanol derived from any source. The FECC must also evaluate and recommend that all renewable fuels introduced into state commerce reduce lifecycle GHG emissions by an average percentage. The FECC may also evaluate and recommend the benefits associated with the creation of banking, transfer, and sale of GHG emissions credits among fuel refiners, blenders, and importers. The FECC must submit specific recommendations to the state legislature no later than December 31, 2010. (Reference Florida Statutes 526.207)
