In Kansas, Morning AgClips reported that the Kansas Corn Growers Association leaders welcomed EPA’s announcement setting the Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) for renewable fuels through 2027.
EPA set the level for ethanol at 15 billion gallons which meets the statutory requirement in the Renewable Fuel Standard. The EPA also proposed reduced credit prices for imported biofuels but details on the levels of the reductions are not yet known, according to the report.
“EPA’s announcement of an ethanol volume of 15 billion gallons for 2026 and 2027 gives us certainty of a baseline for ethanol in our nation’s fuel supply,” KCGA President J.D. Hanna, Silver Lake, said. “But ethanol can play a stronger role by simply allowing year-round sales of E15 fuel. KCGA will continue to work for passage of year-round E15 and other legislation to build markets for ethanol fuel.”
KCGA also welcomed the announcement that EPA would reduce the credit prices for imported biofuels. This would give domestically produced biofuels priority over imported fuels, according to the report.
