NFU Applauds E15 Expansion, Calls on Congress for Permanent Solution

WASHINGTON – National Farmers Union (NFU) applauds the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) emergency fuel waiver allowing the nationwide sale of E15 gasoline this summer. NFU has long advocated for year-round access to E15 and the expansion of higher ethanol blends, such as E30, and is calling for a permanent solution that strengthens domestic demand for American-grown agricultural products.

“Nationwide access to E15 is a much-needed win for family farmers and consumers alike,” said NFU President Rob Larew. “At a time of increasing global uncertainty, E15 helps lower costs at the pump while creating reliable markets for farmers.”

“However, this remains a temporary fix,” Larew continued. “It’s past time for Congress to deliver common-sense legislation that allows for the year-round, nationwide sale of E15.”
