In a letter sent today to congressional leadership, a coalition of more than 70 biofuel groups and agricultural organizations called for the immediate passage of legislation to allow year-round nationwide sales of the American-made E15 fuel blend, containing 15 percent ethanol. Year-round E15 would benefit drivers with savings of 10 to 30 cents per gallon and improve markets for America’s farmers.

“The U.S. Department of Agriculture projects a record 16.8-billion-bushel corn harvest in 2025—up roughly 13 percent from 2024,” the groups wrote. “While this demonstrates the strength and productivity of America’s farmers, it also intensifies pressure on corn prices and farm incomes. Expanding E15 access is one of the most immediate and practical ways to address this imbalance. When fully scaled, year-round, nationwide E15 is poised to create new domestic demand for billions of bushels of corn and sorghum, help stabilize markets, support farmers, and deliver consumer savings at the pump.”

The letter was led by Growth Energy, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Corn Growers Association, and the Renewable Fuels Association.

In recent years, the organizations noted, E15 availability during the summer driving season has depended on temporary emergency waivers. While these annual actions provide short-term relief, they are not a sustainable or reliable solution. Year-to-year uncertainty discourages investment in fuel infrastructure, confuses consumers, and undermines confidence among retailers and refiners.

“With a record corn crop filling bins across America, farmers cannot afford another season of uncertainty and negative margins. Markets need consistency and predictability, which requires permanent legislative action by Congress. We respectfully urge you to act this year to pass year-round E15 legislation,” the groups wrote.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, expressed its support today for regulatory amendments proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) that streamline the regulatory process, addressing unnecessary barriers that have the potential to undermine the benefits of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), a clean energy program that drives economic and environmental benefits by promoting the use of American biofuels. 

FWS and NMFS proposed a rulemaking that clarifies how Section 7 consultations are conducted under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This is relevant to the RFS because some organizations have argued that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should conduct costly and time-consuming “formal” ESA consultations regarding the agency’s proposed RFS renewable volume obligations (RVOs)—despite findings by several agencies that such consultations are unnecessary.  

“A strong RFS drives economic growth while making fuel more affordable—these amendments clarify that agencies like EPA can help the RFS deliver those benefits without unnecessary regulatory hurdles,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “We commend FWS and NMFS for proposing these changes and look forward to seeing them finalized. We’ll continue to work with Congress and the Administration to maximize the positive impact of the RFS on drivers, the economy and the environment.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, applauded the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) today after the agencies published a notice for taxpayers seeking to claim the 45Q tax credit for carbon sequestration.  

American ethanol producers, and Growth Energy’s members in particular, are leaders in the deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) technology. Today’s notice provides a safe harbor that allows taxpayers to verify carbon sequestration, making it easier for participating biofuel producers to claim the 45Q tax credit for 2025. 

“American ethanol producers have always been on the cutting edge of carbon capture technology,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “This safe harbor affirms the investments our members have made in CCUS today and supports more investment in CCUS in the future. We applaud the IRS and Treasury for working quickly to provide certainty for the 2025 tax year and look forward to working with them to continue supporting innovation and investment in rural communities across the U.S.”  

Read the IRS announcement here. 

Background 

Earlier this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it would reconsider the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, a part of which companies would use to verify and report their geologic carbon sequestration for the 45Q tax credit. Concerned about the impact of this proposal on those that rely on the program for verification, Growth Energy filed comments with EPA in November urging the agency to “do no harm” until a solution can be put in place by the Department of Treasury. With today’s action, IRS has provided such a solution, giving taxpayers a safe harbor to verify carbon sequestration they can use to claim the credit in 2025.

DENVER, COLO. and ATLANTA, GA.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, filed briefs in the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 10th and 11th Circuits yesterday urging the courts to reject attempts by refiners to circumvent recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent on venue by bringing challenges to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) August 2025 small refinery exemption (SRE) decision in those two circuits, rather than in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion in EPA v. Calumet, which addressed Clean Air Act venue, or, in other words, the proper court in which to bring certain Clean Air Act challenges. The Court held that SRE decisions EPA issued in April and June 2022 were based on determinations that have “nationwide scope or effect,” and therefore must be litigated in the D.C. Circuit, whose decisions on agency actions often cover the entire U.S.

Refiners have now brought new challenges, outside of the D.C. Circuit, to EPA’s August 2025 SRE decisions. The refiners argued that the determinations on which those decisions were based do not fit within the parameters for D.C. Circuit venue established under Calumet. In support of EPA’s own briefing opposing the refiners, Growth Energy argued that the refiners’ challenges rested on a “fundamental misunderstanding” of EPA’s decisions.

“The facts in this case are clear. EPA’s August 2025 SRE decisions were based on determinations of nationwide scope or effect and should be litigated in the D.C. circuit,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “The courts should dismiss or transfer these challenges to the circuit where they belong, and avoid creating a patchwork of inconsistent case law that ultimately increases market uncertainty and undermines the strength of American farmers and biofuel producers.”

Ethanol industry highlights ethanol deficit in Chinese purchases under Phase One Agreement as USTR reviews compliance.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—As the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) heard testimony today on its Section 301 investigation into China’s implementation of the Phase One trade agreement, Growth Energy’s written comments highlighted significant shortfalls in Chinese purchases of U.S. ethanol and other agricultural commodities, and urged the administration to ensure Beijing is held to its commitments to American farmers and biofuel producers.

“The Trump Administration is right to closely scrutinize China’s failure to meet its agricultural purchase commitments,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “America’s ethanol producers and corn growers stood ready to deliver on the market access promised under Phase One. When China committed to substantial agricultural purchases, our industry invested and prepared accordingly. We appreciate USTR’s leadership in examining these shortfalls and look forward to working with the administration to ensure American ethanol producers receive the fair treatment and market access they deserve.”

In comments submitted to USTR’s Section 301 investigation, Growth Energy detailed major gaps between China’s commitments and actual purchases:

Overall Agricultural Shortfalls:

• China’s agricultural purchases reached only 82 percent of committed levels in 2020 and 84 percent in 2021.

• Total agricultural gap: $12 billion below Phase One commitments.

• The additional $5 billion per year China agreed to “strive for” never materialized.

Ethanol-Specific Deficits:

• China was the third largest export market for U.S. ethanol in 2016

• U.S. ethanol exports to China fell 39 percent below the 2017 baseline in 2020, despite China committing to a 64 percent increase in overall agricultural purchases.

• Estimated cumulative ethanol purchase deficit: $88.6 million during the Phase One implementation period.

• Since 2021, ethanol exports to China have essentially disappeared.

Signed in January 2020, the Phase One agreement committed China to $32 billion in additional agricultural purchases over two years above 2017 levels. Although the agreement did not specify commodity-specific targets, ethanol was explicitly included as an eligible agricultural product.

Growth Energy represents 97 U.S. ethanol plants producing 9.5 billion gallons annually, along with 130 associated businesses. Its members are among the nation’s leading exporters, supporting nearly two billion gallons of ethanol exports to more than 60 countries worldwide.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, welcomed news that California’s E15 Multimedia Working Group (MMWG) transmitted its Staff Written Summary to the California Environmental Policy Council (CEPC) today. The publication of the summary marks regulatory progress–an important step in the ongoing process of giving California drivers access to E15, a more affordable fuel option made with 15% ethanol that can be used in 96% of cars on the road today and that California approved for sale in October.

Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor issued the following statement in response:

“Californians deserve access to more affordable fuel options and that’s precisely what E15 would provide. We commend the Multimedia Working Group for its continued work and for taking the steps it needs to take to swiftly get E15 into the marketplace. We will continue to engage with the appropriate agencies, our members, and our retail partners to give California drivers access to lower-cost E15 as soon as possible.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, released the following statement after news today that the Trump administration would deliver $12 billion in relief to American farmers.

“Today’s announcement is welcome news to farm families. We applaud President Trump and his administration for being responsive to the needs of American farmers and our nation’s rural communities,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor.

“This move builds on the Trump administration’s long-standing commitment to American agriculture, including the President’s support for expanding access to higher biofuel blends like E15 and his administration’s embrace of a strong Renewable Fuel Standard. Taken together, these efforts serve as powerful economic drivers for rural America.”

SACRAMENTO, CALIF.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, called on the California Air Resources Board (CARB) today to update the way the agency assesses the environmental impact of crop-based biofuels like ethanol.

“We were greatly encouraged when California finally approved E15 for use earlier this year,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “Recognizing the environmental benefits of crop-based biofuels and setting carbon reduction policy that allows ethanol to compete on a level playing field is the next critical step. American ethanol producers and their farm partners are constantly innovating to increase their efficiency and lower their carbon intensity. To maximize the benefits ethanol can deliver to California consumers, CARB must stop penalizing today’s biofuel producers based on yesterday’s data.”

In submitted comments, Growth Energy noted that CARB unfairly penalizes crop-based biofuels by relying on environmental assumptions that are almost a decade old. In particular, the way that CARB assigns an exaggerated value for land use change (LUC) to crop-based biofuels is especially damaging and undermines the ability of biofuels like ethanol to qualify and compete in the state’s low carbon fuel standard (LCFS).

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Growth Energy today joined liquid fuels groups representing ethanol producers, oil refiners, fuel marketers, travel plazas, truck stops and convenience store retailers to express the need for long-term policy certainty across the transportation fuel sector. In a letter to President Donald Trump, the organizations urged policymakers to advance legislation in support of a stable, efficient fuels marketplace.

“Legislation allowing the year-round, nationwide sale of E15 would improve fungibility and substantially reduce many of the complexities that arise for our industries as we operate in a national marketplace,” the organizations wrote.

The letter urges the White House to support legislative action providing lasting certainty to this issue and reforming the Small Refinery Exemption (SRE) program.

“The current SRE structure has encouraged a system of winners and losers that distorts the marketplace, creates instability, and ultimately, hurts consumers,” the organizations wrote. “A more consistent and narrowly applied SRE structure would create a far more predictable regulatory environment.”

Other liquid fuels groups on the letter included the American Petroleum Institute, National Association of Convenience Stores, NATSO, Representing America’s Travel Centers and Truck Stops, Renewable Fuels Association, and SIGMA: America’s Leading Fuel Marketers.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, submitted comments to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) today regarding the agency’s ongoing effort to finalize regulations that will ultimately govern the sale of E15, a more affordable fuel option made with 15% ethanol that was approved for sale in California earlier this year. 

In comments authored by Growth Energy Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Chris Bliley, the organization urged CARB to treat E15 the same way it treats reformulated gasoline (RFG), allow fuel retailers to use existing infrastructure to sell E15, and recognize E15’s lower evaporative emissions compared to other fuel options, among other recommendations. 

“E15 will save Californians money at the pump,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “CARB must ensure that the regulations it applies to this more affordable fuel choice don’t impede consumers from accessing those savings. We urge California to follow the example of other states that have widely adopted E15 in order to minimize unintended consequences, and we look forward to continuing our work with CARB to make sure California drivers start to see E15 at their nearest fuel retailer as soon as possible.”

In keynote remarks in Brussels, Skor highlights bipartisan support for clean fuel incentives and global opportunity for U.S. farmers

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM — Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor today delivered keynote remarks at the 28th Annual World Ethanol & Biofuels Conference, underscoring the strength of America’s rural economy and the growing global demand for homegrown bioethanol.

Skor highlighted the Trump Administration’s extension of the clean fuel production tax credit and the bipartisan coalition that continues to drive U.S. leadership in biofuels. She noted that support for American bioethanol is rooted in its benefits for farmers, small businesses, and rural communities nationwide.

“When we invest in sustainable bioethanol, we’re investing in the rural economy. Strengthening the agricultural sector. Boosting GDP. And creating a supply chain that starts and stops on domestic soil.”

Skor also emphasized that the outlook for American bioethanol has never been stronger, as countries around the world look to expand their use of affordable, low-carbon fuels.

“Our future has never been clearer and our outlook has never been more positive. The state of the bioeconomy is getting stronger virtually by the day. And I don’t just mean in the U.S. but in Europe and all over the world.”

Skor called on policymakers and global partners to work together to expand access to bioethanol and recognize the shared economic and environmental benefits of increased trade and cooperation.

“The more countries that enter the bioethanol market, the better for all of us. Because the demand for low-carbon fuel is only going up.”

“American bioethanol is fueling economic growth at home and delivering real solutions abroad,” Skor added. “Our industry is built on farmers, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to helping nations meet their energy needs affordably and sustainably.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In comments submitted today, Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, called on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to finalize its proposal to reallocate 100% of biofuel gallons lost due to small refinery exemptions (SREs) granted under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). 

Growth Energy’s comments encouraged EPA to finalize the supplemental proposal it released in September. This would ensure that the agency accounts for every lost biofuel gallon exempted by EPA’s August 2025 decision to grant several SREs for the 2023-2025 Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) compliance years. The comments also highlight the legal obligation EPA has to fully reallocate these gallons and the negative impacts to the industry and the rural economy if EPA decides to not reallocate, or to reallocate only a portion of the exempted volumes.  

“Reallocating every exempted gallon is not just the right thing to do, or the smartest thing to do for the market—it’s also what the law clearly requires,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “EPA and this Administration made a promise to rural America to get the RFS back on track—reallocating any less than 100% of all the 2023-2025 SREs EPA has granted would break that promise, and farmers and rural communities would suffer because of it. We urge EPA to commit to full reallocation, and we look forward to continuing our work with the agency to increase American energy dominance through the increased use of homegrown biofuels.” 

Read Growth Energy’s full comment here. 

Background 

Under the RFS, EPA sets the number of gallons of renewable fuels (such as biofuels) that must be blended into the nation’s total fuel supply each year. Those obligations apply to fuel producers (petroleum refiners) and importers. The law also allows EPA to grant SREs in rare circumstances when a refiner demonstrates “disproportionate economic hardship” in its efforts to comply with the RFS. 

On August 22, 2025, the EPA released its decision on 175 pending SRE petitions, covering compliance years 2016-2024. In all, EPA approved a total of 140 petitions: 63 full exemptions and 77 partial (50%) exemptions. 

EPA also announced that it would release a supplemental proposal to its proposed Set 2 RVO to reallocate exempt SRE gallons from 2023-2025 compliance years to the 2026 and 2027 compliance years covered by Set 2. Under this approach, refiners will be required to make up for lost gallons from those years, ensuring that SREs don’t compromise renewable fuel demand. 

EPA released the supplemental proposal on SRE reallocation on September 16, 2025. It indicated that the agency is considering accounting for “volumes representing complete (100 percent) reallocation and 50 percent reallocation for SREs granted in full or in part for 2023 and 2024, as well as those projected to be granted for 2025, as part of the ongoing RFS rulemaking.” In its comments, Growth Energy called on the agency to reallocate 100 percent of lost gallons, thus protecting the rural economy from unwarranted demand destruction.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, issued the following statement after U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer announced new trade agreements between the U.S. and four countries in Southeast Asia—Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand. 

“American farmers and rural communities want and need new markets—like the ones that will be created and enhanced by these new trade agreements,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “Global demand for ethanol is growing and the Trump administration continues to find ways to create new opportunities for this industry while positioning American producers to make the most of them. These new deals will be welcome news across the heartland, and we commend USTR for its commitment to building American energy dominance through the strength of our trade relationships.”
