The head of the American Coalition for Ethanol says last week’s emergency waiver for E15 sales was a mixed bag.
Brian Jennings says the US needs to look beyond the 2023 driving season. “We don’t want the supply conditions to be such that there are emergency steps that need to be taken. We need to get back to some sort of normalcy. We need to get permanent nationwide access to E15 year-round.
EPA has granted authorization for eight midwestern states to sell the higher blend beginning in 2024, but Jenninigs says Congress can eliminate uncertainty for every state.
