Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Biofuel demand causing environmental damage to land use, cropland expansion causing habitat loss, increased nitrogen fertilizer contributing to land, water, and air emissions, demand for biofuel feedstocks contributing to harmful algae blooms, higher NOx emissions due to biofuel manufacture.
• Biodiesel releases along the production, transportation, storage, and distribution supply chains due to equipment failures, incompatible materials, inappropriate handling, and human error.
• Biodiesel's incompatibility with some UST systems leading to corrosion and leaks.
• Methane generation and off-gassing at biodiesel spill sites.
• Biodiesel groundwater plumes being more biodegradable but with potential for increased vapor intrusion risks.

Mitigation Strategies

• EPA and state resource toolboxes for owners/operators to assess UST system compatibility with biodiesel blends.
• ASTSWMO compatibility checklists and corrosion observation tools.
• Annual walk-through inspections of UST systems.
• Emergency response planning and modification of response plans for biodiesel spills.
• Determining compatibility of biodiesel mixtures with absorbent booms.
• Increased vapor intrusion investigation and abatement costs.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Intensified rain events, flooding, and more extreme temperatures in urban centers
• Years of drought conditions in the American West leading to dry and eroding streams
• High fire risk in wildland-urban interface areas
