Key facts
- Biofuel groups and corn farmers are urging the Senate to pass legislation.
- The legislation would allow year-round sales of E-15 fuel.
- The push is for legislative action to permit the sale of this fuel blend throughout the entire year.
Biofuel industry representatives and corn farmers are actively campaigning for the U.S. Senate to pass legislation that would permit the year-round sale of E-15 fuel. This fuel blend, which contains 15% ethanol, currently faces seasonal restrictions in many parts of the United States. The groups argue that allowing year-round sales would provide greater market access for biofuels, support domestic agriculture, and potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, aligning with broader energy transition goals.
