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.
The USDA recently released its Grain Crushings and Co-Products Production report for April, reporting that corn use for fuel ethanol production in February was down when compared to both previous month and February 2024.
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.
UNICA, the Brazilian sugarcane industry association, has released final data for the 2024-’25 harvest season, reporting record high ethanol production and sales despite reduced sugarcane milling. Corn ethanol production was up significantly.
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.
