SmartWay Grow & Go is a program developed by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to promote the environmental benefits of renewable
fuels, and provide a renewable fuel component for EPA's existing SmartWay Transport
Partnership.
This program will help reduce U.S. dependence on petroleum, and help improve
our environment by reducing emissions of harmful pollutants and greenhouse
gases. EPA will work with its public-private partners to implement the goals
of SmartWay Grow & Go. Read more Basic Information.
