Report: Trump says E15 is going to year round
A White House pool report quotes President Trump telling reporters this morning he supports approving year round consumer access to E-15.
The head of the Renewable Fuels Association says, if true, that’s good news for farmers and consumers.
But, Bob Dinneeen says, for that happen “EPA Administrator Pruitt must cease his campaign to destruct biofuel demand with unjustified waivers and other policies meant to undermine the RFS.”
In a statement from Kyle Gilley, POET’s communications lead says, “On behalf of POET team members and stakeholders, we applaud President Trump for calling for regulatory reform that will permit year-round, nationwide sales of E15. This action will grow biofuels and create market demand for the commodities raised by farmers struggling with economic hardships across the Midwest. Small refiners already received their reprieve through recently exposed waiver requests from the EPA. We are grateful President Trump is following through on his commitment to protect the Renewable Fuel Standard and support rural America.”
Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor today applauded President Trump’s commitment to lifting outdated Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) limits on summer-time sales of E15 without tying RVP relief to any refinery-backed limits on Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
Thank you for your support of E15.
