Ethanol industry supporters say the Biden administration’s new automobile emissions standards miss the mark and disregard the carbon benefits of ethanol.
Harold Wolle, a Minnesota farmer and president of the National Corn Growers Association, says the final rule from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency relies heavily on the use of electric vehicles to meet climate change goals. “We’re all set to decarbonize the transportation system with higher blends of ethanol right now,” he says.
