New Biofuels Council Formed
News Date June 29, 2007
A new national association called The American Biofuels Council (ABC) has been formed. ABC's mission is to advance the uses of alternative fuels and other products derived from biomass derivatives by promoting research, development and education on the use of biofuels.
The new council will bring information to consumers, enterprises and local governments, and, in turn, represent the grassroots at the national level. Sean O'Hanlon, ABC's founder and executive director, said in a statement that the U.S. needs to reduce dependence on foreign oil by producing fuel domestically. He noted that producing fuel domestically creates jobs and helps reduce the United States' trade deficit, plus biofuels are produced from various sources of biomass, therefore the supply is almost limitless. According to O'Hanlon, ABC is the first organization dedicated to moving information from local and state levels up to the national level and across the country.
