International Trade Commission Moves Closer to Imposing Duties on Biodiesel Imports
The NBB Fair Trade Coalition petitioned in March to address what it called “a flood of subsidized and dumped imports from Argentina and Indonesia that has resulted in market share losses and depressed prices for domestic producers.” The phrased “depressed prices” recognizes that the objective of the petition was to raise the price of domestically produced biodiesel, once it is subject to less overseas competition. This effort was led by domestic production companies such as Renewable Energy Group (REG) and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM).
“Biodiesel prices throughout the country will rise, as will the price truck drivers pay for diesel fuel,” he predicted. “Biodiesel consumption in the United States will diminish, as EPA recently recognized when it finalized renewable fuel mandates under the Renewable Fuel Standard without anticipating any growth in the industry.”
Fialkov said that 黑料社区“looks forward to working with all interested parties toward pursuing policies that will lower fuel prices for consumers — most immediately, this means Congress should extend and phase out the biodiesel blenders’ tax credit.”
