A biofuels group says a year-round E15 framework needs to be established sooner rather than later.
Monte Shaw, executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, says the U.S. EPA has not finalized a rule that would allow year-round sales in Midwestern states beginning in 2024.
“On multiple public occasions, EPA officials have said we will get this done by the end of the year, but when you factor in the New Year’s holidays and the Christmas holidays and the Thanksgiving holidays and a potential shutdown and now we don’t have a speaker in the house, they need to get this process started.”
He tells Brownfield legislation in Congress, such as the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, would be a better fix.
