Renewable Energy Group and Phillips 66 have proposed the Green Apple Renewable Fuels, LLC (Green Apple) joint venture to produce renewable fuels near Ferndale, Washington. The projected nameplate capacity for the Green Apple Renewable Fuels facility is 250 MMGY of renewable fuel products. Green Apple is designed to be a multi-feedstock

Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II), requiring 14% renewable energy to be used in transport by 2030. RED II has created new markets for conventional biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel and for alternative biofuels such as renewable methanol, especially when made from wastes, residues or renewable electricity (Renewable Energy Directive II .
renewable resources (renewable energy) and sets the FiT rate. The DLs will pay for renewable energy supplied to the electricity grid for a specific duration. By guaranteeing access to the grid and setting a favourable price per unit of renewable energy, the FiT mechanism would ensure that renewable energy becomes a viable and sound long-term

renewable energy sources. The Government has set a very ambitious target of adding 175 GW of renewable energy by 20226. While this is a recent policy announcement, it would be pertinent to highlight the progress of renewable energy sources over the last two decades. The following graph depicts the journey of renewable energy
Renewable thermal heat achieves a main policy goal of an RPS: it helps people transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner, renewable and local technologies. Renewable thermal energy has many of the same benefits as other renewable technologies, including improved air quality, economic development and job creation, and the promotion of
