The Northeast Biofuels Collaborative is a not-for-profit, public/private partnership dedicated to educating the general public about the economic and environmental benefits of increased biofuel production and use. Members of the Collaborative have ready-access to legislative and regulatory information, and have greater potential to engage in policy decisions that affect the viability of the industry. The New Fuels Alliance and the Renewable Energy Action Project (REAP) formed the Northeast Biofuels Collaborative in April 2007. The Collaborative is based in Boston, Massachusetts, and works with stakeholders in the eight northeastern states. It maintains an affiliation and strategic partnership with the California Renewable Fuels Partnership.
