RFS2 WEBINAR March 4
MARCH 4 FREE RFS2 WEBINAR
Join Tim Columbus and Lizzy Glidden from Steptoe and Johnson for an exclusive SIGMA member webinar on the new RFS 2 rules on March 4 at 2:00 p.m. EST. On February 3, 2010, EPA issued a final rule to implement the renewable fuels standard mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. The new program known as RFS2, mandates 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022, with distinct obligations for advanced biofuels, biomass based diesel, and cellulosic biofuels. SIGMA Counsel will go over all of the issues covered in the memorandum that was distributed last week. The memo provides an overview of the changes to the previous renewable fuel standard and outlines the new requirements issued under the final RFS2. You are encouraged to review the memo prior to the webinar. It can also be found on www.sigma.org. THE WEBINAR IS FREE FOR SIGMA MEMBERS AND WILL BE HELD MARCH 4 AT 2:00 P.M. EST.
