The need for energy independence in the U.S. has never been clearer. The answer can be found, in part, through year-round E15. Ethanol blended fuels made from American-grown corn and sorghum are a renewable, economic addition to America’s energy strategy.
Today, under the current U.S. blending limits, ethanol uses about 5.6 billion bushels of corn annually – about one-third of national corn production. E15, a type of gasoline containing 15% ethanol, is a proven fuel blend, yet outdated federal rules still prevent it from being sold year-round in much of the country. The result is higher fuel costs for consumers, lost sales for farmers, and unnecessary dependence on foreign energy.
Read how we are advocating for year-round E15 alongside American Farm Bureau Federation in our joint op-ed, E15 is a Win-Win for American Farmers and Consumers.
