Energy Independence through Biofuels
(HB 2210)
Senate Vote # 17
House Vote # 17
HB 2210 reduces air pollution and our dependence on imported fossil fuels by establishing a statewide standard and tax credits that allow for the blending of cleaner, locally produced renewable fuels in gasoline and diesel sold in Oregon. Rather than sending the billions of dollars overseas, HB 2210 will ensure that a portion of every dollar we spend on gas and diesel at the pump is reinvested in the local economy, supporting Oregon farmers and other local businesses. Biodiesel and other biofuels also emit significantly lower levels of pollutants into our air when burned, helping promote healthier air.
