The Biden administration is proposing new tailpipe emission standards that likely can't be met unless auto manufacturers shift still more of their sales toward electric vehicles, a move that could reduce the market for biofuels.
Biofuel trade association Growth Energy has filed suit against the Environmental Protection Agency for giving small refineries different ways of meeting their Renewable Fuel Standard obligations.
An Environmental Protection Agency official says the agency is exploring a variety of solutions that would allow E15 sales to take place in 2023 while also advancing a petition to legalize the sales in the Midwest the following year.
The Environmental Protection Agency has rolled out its long-awaited response to a petition that would expand sales of higher ethanol blends, but its proposal includes a delay that has already angered the biofuels industry.
If India can keep on track for using more and more ethanol in gasoline, the country could well blend its way into needing U.S. imports, opening up major new trading opportunities with the second-most populous nation in the world.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was the top story in global news throughout 2022, forcing American ag and food policy watchers to keep a close eye on the war’s implications for domestic agriculture interests and world food security.
A request from several Midwest governors to sell E15 year-round in their home states is now before the White House Office of Management and Budget. The news comes as 24 House members introduced a bill to match Senate legislation on the subject.
New legislation from a bipartisan group of 15 farm-state senators to pave the way for summer sales of higher ethanol blends carries not only the endorsement of biofuel groups but also the principal organization for the oil and gas industry.
Renewable fuel interests have gained a powerful new ally for one of their legacy priorities, but stiff opposition could still stall a potential resolution.
A mix of oil, biofuel and retail interests are asking Congress to advance legislation to allow year-round sales of E15, bringing a coalition together that offers new life for a long-running renewable fuels industry priority.
