Broad stakeholder coalition urges Congress to swiftly pass year-round E15

In Washington, American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) joined a broad coalition of organizations representing farmers, ethanol producers, and renewable fuel stakeholders in urging congressional leaders to swiftly pass legislation securing permanent, year-round access to E15 nationwide. In a letter sent to bipartisan leadership in the U.S. House and Senate, the coalition emphasized that permanent year-round E15 is a commonsense solution to support farmers, strengthen rural economies, and provide consumers with a lower-cost fuel option at the pump.

“With record corn and sorghum crops 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,” the coalition wrote. In recent years, E15 availability during the summer months has relied on temporary emergency waivers, creating uncertainty for retailers and consumers alike.
