The U.S. EPA on April 28 announced it will issue emergency fuel waivers for both E10 and E15. The emergency actions aim to provide consumers with relief at the pump by increasing the fuel supply and reducing costs.
In April, the U.S. Grains Council and the National Corn Growers Association held trade policy academies in Ames, Iowa, and Birmingham, Michigan, for producers to learn about the latest developments affecting global markets for their goods.
A bill currently pending in the California legislature would authorize the use of E15 within the state until state agencies complete the required evaluation process for the fuel blend and issue a decision.
The Renewable Fuels Association on April 23 thanked 25 members of the House of Representatives who sent a bipartisan letter to President Trump urging his administration to allow unimpeded sales of lower-cost E15 through the summer months.
CARB on April 4 released a third set of proposed changes to the state’s LCFS. More than 80 public comments were filed ahead of an April 21 deadline, including those filed by representatives of the ethanol, biobased diesel and biogas industries.
