Summary
H.R. 5372, the BIOFUEL Act of 2006, proposes a comprehensive expansion of the United States' renewable energy infrastructure by increasing federal requirements for the production of ethanol, biodiesel, and cellulosic biomass. The bill would require automakers to produce a higher percentage of "dual fueled" vehicles and mandate that gas stations install E-85 fuel pumps once a certain number of flexible-fuel vehicles are on the road in their region. Additionally, the legislation offers financial support to farmers and businesses through new grants, loans, and tax credits intended to lower the cost of building biofuel production facilities and refueling stations.
