The ethanol industry is looking to maintain momentum as stakeholders gather in Orlando this week for the National Ethanol Conference.
Renewable Fuels Association CEO Geoff Cooper says there were several big wins in the policy and regulatory arena in 2022.
“I’d say it was probably the most fruitful year for ethanol policy since at least 2007, which of course was the year we got the expanded and extended RFS.”
He tells Brownfield the Biden administration put the RFS back in growth mode, denied nearly 70 pending small refinery exemption requests, and issued an emergency waiver allowing summertime sales of E15.
