Ethanol groups comment on Canadian fuel standards plan

Three U.S. pro-ethanol groups say they are in favor of

Canada’s Clean Fuel Standards proposals. 

Growth Energy, the Renewable Fuels Association, and the U.S. Grains

Council issued a joint statement to Canadian officials, calling their goal to

reduce liquid fuel carbon by 11% and reducing greenhouse gases by 23-megatons

is both “laudable and achievable.”

The groups say they support Canada’s proposal to raise the

minimum blending requirement from 5% to 10%, and Ontario’s proposal to require

15% or E15 by 2025. 

The three groups also urge Canadian officials to be more

specific and transparent about improvements to fossil fuels, and not to apply

compliance flexibilities too broadly, so low-carbon biofuel use is not stifled.
