Upcoming Presentation: Biofuel Legal and Policy Issues

This Friday, May 2, 2014, I will be presenting a talk at the 6th Annual Biofuels Law and Regulation Conference at the University of Illinois. My talk, entitled “Legal and Policy Issues Affecting Biofuel Development,” will briefly summarize a number of key legal, policy and regulatory issues that are critical for the successful development of the biofuels industry in the U.S. and internationally. The slides from that presentation can be found here, and after the conference, I’m planning a series of posts here on in Biofuel Policy Watch to elaborate on the issues I intend to cover in the presentation. These topics are as follows (with links to the blog posts describing each topic):

• US Renewable Fuel Standard
• Low Carbon Fuel Standards
• EU Renewable Energy Directive and other International Issues
• Ethanol “Blend Wall”
• R&D Policies
• Financial Policies
• International Trade Harmonization
• Biotechnology Policies

In each post, I’ll briefly summarize the issues I’ve presented in the talk, and to the extent possible I’ll also report on any relevant discussion on these topics that arose during the conference. I’ll be happy to answer any questions anyone may have on this presentation, these topics, and the forthcoming blog entries.
