BioEnergy Producers Association

California's biobased industries have united under the banner of the BioEnergy Producers Association to advance the development and commercialization of sustainable, environmentally preferable industries that produce power, fuels, and chemicals from agricultural, forestry, and urban sources of biomass and plastic wastes.

Its mission is to promote the development of a comprehensive policy and constructive regulatory environment for bioenergy production in the State of California.  

In pursuit of this goal, the Association is sponsoring legislation to expedite the introduction of 21st Century technologies that will produce advanced biofuels and green power from organic waste materials. AB 222, which addresses the issues necessary to achieve this goal, passed the California State Assembly by a vote of 54-13 on June 1, 2009, after having been approved by a unanimous bipartisan vote of 11-0 in the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee on April 27, 2009.  (CLICK HERE to see a copy of the bill as passed by the State Assembly.)
