A proposal by Maine State Representative Steve Butterfield mandates that heating oil in Maine contain at least 2% biofuel by 2011.

Rep. Butterfield added a number of provisions allowing the governor to suspend the mandate if the biofuel market should fail. The initial mandate requires all No. 2 home heating oil sold in Maine to contain 2 percent biofuel. However, the goal is that the amount of biofuel will increase along with Maine biofuel production.
