# Biointermedi-who-now? :: Energy.ink

> The article explains biointermediates, which are biofuel feedstocks partly processed away from the final biofuel plant, such as pyrolysis oil. It notes that current RFS rules restrict which biointermediate pathways generate RIN credits and cites NREL work on producing butyric acid from biomass.
