The goals of the Biodiesel Fuel Education Program as originally established in Sec.
9004 of the Farm Security Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C.
8104) were to stimulate biodiesel consumption and to stimulate the development of a biodiesel infrastructure.
The information and outreach
activities to raise awareness of the benefits of biodiesel fuel use complemented the incentives provided by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) (Pub.
L.
109-58), and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Pub.
L.
110-140).
As a result of increased awareness and consumption of biodiesel over the past decade, the FY 2014 Biodiesel Education program will focus on educational programs which will support advances in infrastructure, technology transfer, fuel quality, fuel safety and increasing feedstock production.
