BioFuel Industry Look to Benefit From Potential Increase of the Renewable Fuels Mandate by the FDA

Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Renewable Energy Group and Solazyme

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Feb 5, 2013) - Shares of biofuel companies received a boost last week as the Environmental Protection Agency proposed to raise the renewable fuels mandate. Under the proposal the mandate would increase 16.55 billion gallons of renewable fuels (roughly 9.6 percent on all fuel used in 2013), an 8.9 percent from 2012. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Ethanol Industry and provides equity research on Renewable Energy Group Inc. (NASDAQ: REGI) and Solazyme Inc. (NASDAQ: SZYM).

As part of the increase refiners are required to purchase 2.75 billion gallons of advanced biofuels, and 14 million gallons of cellulosic biofuels. Cellulosic biofuels are fuels produced from scraps such as wood, grasses, or the inedible parts of plants. The previous mandate of advanced biofuels was 2 million gallons in 2012.

"The cellulosic biofuel industry is transitioning from research and development and pilot-scale to commercial scale facilities, leading to increases in production capacity," EPA said. "Construction has begun on several facilities with multiple facilities having progressed to the start-up phase."
