TITLE I---RENEWABLE FUEL STANDARD

**Sec.101.Renewable fuel standard**. Requires the President to
promulgate regulations to ensure that renewable fuels are consumed for
motor vehicles, home heating oil, and boiler fuels in the following
amounts (in billions of gallons):

2008 8.5

2009 10.5

2010 12.0

2011 12.6

2012 13.2

2013 13.8

2014 14.4

2015 15.0

2016 18.0

2017 21.0

2018 24.0

2019 27.0

2020 30.0

2021 33.0

2022 36.0

Of this amount, the following amounts must be "advanced biofuels," not
derived from feed grains (in billions of gallons):

2016 3.0

2017 6.0

2018 9.0

2019 12.0

2020 15.0

2021 18.0

2022 21.0

TITLE II---RENEWABLE FUELS INFRASTRUCTURE

**Sec.201.Infrastructure pilot program for renewable fuels**. Through
DOE's Vehicle Technology Deployment Program (formerly the Clean Cities
Program), establish renewable fuels corridors.

**Sec.202.Bioenergy research and development**. Increases the funding
for bioenergy research and development by 50% for years 2007-2009.

**Sec.203.Bioresearch centers for systems biology program**. Increases
the number of bioresearch centers focused on biofuels to seven, to cover
the range of climates, regions, and feedstocks in the United States.

**Sec.204.Loan guarantees for renewable fuel facilities**. Stipulates
that the first six loan guarantees can be made in advance of the final
rulemaking. Requires the Secretary to approve or disapprove applications
for these six applications in 90 days, and to provide written
explanations to Congress of any disapproved applications. Redefines
"commercial technology" not to include technologies that are only
commercialized through loan guarantees. Requires DOE to guarantee 100%
of the loan.

**Sec.205.Grants for renewable fuel production research and development
in certain States**. Provides grants for research in renewable
technologies in states with low rates of ethanol production.

**Sec.206.Grants for infrastructure for transportation of biomass to
local biorefineries.** Establishes a program to provide grants to local
governments and other entities to promote the development of
infrastructure to support the transportation of biomass to local
biorefineries.

**Sec.207.Biorefinery information center**. Establishes a biorefinery
information center to make available information on renewable fuel
resources, producers, and users, and legislation and incentives related
to biorefineries, through a website and call center.

**Sec.208.Conversion assistance for cellulosic biomass, waste-derived
ethanol, approved renewable fuels**. Provides grants to cellulosic
ethanol producers to assist in building biorefineries.

**Sec.209.Alternative fuel database and materials**. DOE and NIST are
directed to establish a public database and standard reference materials
for physical properties of renewable fuels.

**Sec.210.Fuel tank cap labeling requirement**. Fuel tanks of FFVs shall
be clearly labeled to inform customers that that they operate on E85,
starting in model year 2010.

TITLE III---STUDIES

**Sec.301.Study of advanced biofuels technologies**. Directs DOE and the
National Academies of Science to study the state of technology and the
availability of advanced biofuels by 2015.

**Sec.302.Study of increased consumption of ethanol-blended gasoline
with higher levels of ethanol**. Directs DOE to study the feasibility of
nationwide consumption of ethanol at levels of E15 through E25.

**Sec.303.Pipeline feasibility study**. Directs DOE to study the
feasibility of dedicated ethanol pipelines.

**Sec.304.Study of optimization of alternative fueled vehicles to use
E-85 fuel.** Directs DOE to study optimization of FFVs for E85, to
reduce the efficiency loss those vehicles experience when fueled by E85.

**Sec.305.Study of credits for use of renewable electricity in electric
vehicles**. Directs DOE to study the feasibility and issuing RFS credits
to electric vehicles powered by electricity produced from renewable
energy sources.
