The biofuel and ethanol manufacturers in the US released 12 million tons of toxic materials in 2022, emitting more hazardous air pollution than oil refineries, including cancer-linked chemicals.
EIP's Director of Research, Courtney Bernhardt, highlights that despite a green image, biofuels industry emits hazardous air pollution, jeopardizing local communities due to EPA's weak regulation.
EIP's report revealed 'green' fuel companies released more potent toxins like hexane, acetaldehyde, acrolein, and formaldehyde than traditional oil refineries, endangering public health with cancer-causing and nausea-inducing effects.
The EIP emphasizes the need for stricter federal regulations on the 'green' fuel industry to address the significant air pollution emissions and safeguard public health from harmful toxins like formaldehyde and acrolein.
