by Todd Neeley (DTN Progressive Farmer)  With the E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council set to begin work, agriculture, biofuels and petroleum organizations are pushing for the council to quickly reach a legislative solution to make E15 available nationally on a permanent basis.

In a letter to council co-chairmen Reps. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla., and Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, on Friday, the groups said they "stand ready to partner" with the council to "expeditiously" craft legislation for E15.

The groups signing the letter include the Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy, National Corn Growers Association, National Sorghum Producers, Corn Refiners Association, American Farm Bureau Federation, Agricultural Retailers Association, American Petroleum Institute, National Association of Convenience Stores, National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, NATSO: Representing American's Travel Centers and Truck Stops, and SIGMA: America's Leading Fuel Marketers.

"We previously supported consensus legislation in H.R. 1346, the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, that was offered for consideration by Rep. Adrian Smith (R-Nebraska) last week before the rules committee," the letter said.

"This legislation, as amended, should significantly inform the council's work and provides the best starting point for any further deliberations. Second, the time window for arriving at a recommended legislative solution is short, with the council expected to submit a legislative solution to the full House by Feb. 15, only 16 days from today."

An expedited process, the letter said, is needed as farmers are making planting decisions, and that a "legislative fix is needed as soon as possible to provide fuel producers and retailers with a predictable policy framework as we approach the summer driving season."

The groups said a lack of action could "disrupt the fuel supply chain, negatively impacting the availability of fuel."

In addition, groups said the need to identify and encourage new domestic markets for American agriculture is "critical as risk" of bankruptcy for American farmers is the highest it's been in nearly 50 years.

"To achieve a solution in short order, we hope you will take our proposals under consideration and build upon H.R. 1346 through the framework of the council," the letter said.

"With a limited timeline of less than three weeks, we would recommend keeping a narrow scope related to the production and sale of E15 by building off the work of H.R. 1346. Limiting the scope of the council's work to the extent of the issues in this proposal helps to provide the council with the ability to meet this expedited deadline. If this council delves into other issues, it will put at risk the timeline to complete action on this important priority."

In addition, the groups are calling for the council to "prioritize transparency" and to solicit feedback from stakeholders in the agriculture, biofuels, refinery, and fuel retail sectors.

"Finally, we must remind the council that the legislative proposal offered last week by Rep. Adrian Smith during the Rules Committee meeting on H.R. 1346 has broad support from the overwhelming majority of biofuels, agriculture, fuel retail, and oil refining interests, and is the most comprehensive pathway to a legislative solution," the letter said.  READ MORE

Excerpt from Agri-Pulse:  This month, Congress was set to enact permanent, year-round E15 nationwide as part of a final package of funding bills. To my disappointment, at the last minute, the deal went sideways, and E15 was dropped.

This was bad news for consumers and the farm economy that is already hurting under high input costs spiked by inflationary Biden-era policies.  

Thankfully, it’s not the end of the story. While I’m frustrated it’s taken this long to secure year-round E15 through legislation, congressional Republicans aren’t done fighting.  

House Republicans created the Rural Domestic Energy Council to advance E15 and other renewable fuels. The council is expected to release proposed solutions as soon as February. 

I’m glad my fellow Iowan, Congressman Randy Feenstra, will be co-chairing the council and will help get us across the finish line to permanent, year-round E15 nationwide. 

In his recent trip to Iowa, President Donald Trump backed Iowans and endorsed E15.  

He committed to signing year-round E15 into law, and he called on the House and Senate to pass legislation soon. This personal endorsement from President Trump is very helpful and greatly appreciated.  

Trump understands the clear benefits of E15. It’s good for the farm economy, lowering gas prices, the environment and America’s national security. E15 is good, good, good. 

Americans are already familiar with E15’s benefits because, since 2019, temporary, summertime sales of E15 have been authorized via presidential waiver.   

For four of the past six years, Democrats controlled the White House and Congress. Not only did Democrats fail to pass E15 legislation when they had the chance, they also neglected to reauthorize the 2018 farm bill, leaving family farmers with an outdated farm safety net. 

It’s plain as day to both Republicans and Democrats alike that piecemeal waivers will no longer cut it.  

Fuel retailers need certainty to invest in the infrastructure needed to support E15 sales, and passing a law will provide that certainty. 

What’s more, permanent E15 would provide an additional $14 billion in income for farmers who are eager to earn their paycheck from the marketplace.  

As we push ahead on E15, I’m glad to share that congressional Republicans have already taken other important actions to support the family farmer.

As part of the Working Families Tax Cuts law, Republicans made up for partisan gridlock on the farm bill by modernizing the farm safety net and significantly increasing reference prices and crop insurance subsidies. 

We’re standing with new farmers by providing more affordable crop insurance for beginning farmers and ranchers in their first ten years of farming. 

No one should be punished for choosing to keep a family farm in the family, which is why Trump signed the pro-family farmer tax bill that also permanently boosts the death tax exemption. 

Additionally, the law expands critical ag research, increasing the budgetary authority for popular conservation programs by over $16 billion. That’s about a 35% increase in these programs’ baselines. 

While the Working Families Tax Cut was a major step forward for family farmers, we know there’s more to be done. 

Republicans are diligently working to address the headwinds in the ag economy to avoid a repeat of the 1980s farm crisis. 

The next step is for Congress to pass year-round, nationwide E15. It will take a commonsense coalition of lawmakers committed to American agriculture, a clean environment, national security and lowering costs for consumers. Trump stands ready to sign it. 

Victory is right around the corner.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Brownfield Ag News: Nick Bowdish, president and CEO of southwest Iowa-based Elite Octane, says the debate over a permanent fix has stretched on for more than a decade.

“I am calling on Congress this morning to finish the job or get out of the seat,” he said.

He says limits on E15 sales are not justified.

“The 180 million acres of corn and soybeans grown in this country by thousands of farm families,” Bowdish said, “deserve legislative action on E15 and small refinery exemption reform now.”

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds says President Trump has pledged to sign E15 legislation, “But we have to continue to just keep pushing, pushing and pushing until we get that through Congress and across the finish line,” the governor said.

After E15 was left out of a U.S. House funding bill last month, House Republicans established an E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council to study the fuel blend and draft language. The group is expected to submit proposals by February 15th, with lawmakers targeting an agreement by the end of the month.

Bowdish and Governor Reynolds made their comments at the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit on Thursday.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Hagstrom Report/Tri-State Livestock News:  Reacting to House Republicans establishing an E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council rather than passing a law allowing the sale of E15 nationwide all year, American Soybean Association President Scott Metzger said Monday the ASA “appreciates the continued work of the House of Representatives to champion domestic biofuel production, but the broad latitude provided to the E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council creates new threats to programs U.S. soybean farmers rely on to advance the production of soy-based fuels.”

“ASA supports the sale of year-round E15 but is concerned about the council’s review of longstanding bipartisan policies that promote the production and consumption of biodiesel, renewable diesel, and other biofuels derived from soybeans,” said Metzger, an Ohio farmer.

“Congress and members of the council must guard against all efforts that seek to weaken the Renewable Fuel Standard and other policies U.S. soybean farmers rely on for domestic market demand,” he said.

“The open-ended directives of this council create a dangerous precedent that threatens the foundation of the U.S. biofuel industry. The council should not open 25 years of RFS program success during only a few weeks of review.”

“Instead of studying biofuel policies with longstanding proven success, Congress should be working with the administration to ensure the swift finalization of 45Z tax guidance, robust RVOs, and finalizing EPA’s proposed rule to give preference to domestic feedstocks and fuels,” ASA added.

“The work of the E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council cannot distract from getting these policies across the finish line.”   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Argus Media:  A council of Republican lawmakers tasked with negotiating major changes to US fuel policy held its first meeting Tuesday evening, leaving out Democrats that had pushed for a seat at the table.

The US House of Representatives last month punted on a proposal that would have allowed year-round sales of gasoline with up to 15pc ethanol (E15) and restricted how many refiners can win hardship exemptions from annual biofuel mandates. Instead, lawmakers tasked a new "rural domestic energy council" with developing policy recommendations by 15 February in the hopes that Congress will weigh legislation by 25 February.

The full council met for the first time Tuesday evening, four people familiar with the matter said. The task force includes more than 20 House Republicans with a range of views on biofuel policy, but no Democrats, two of the people said. The office of House speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), who was in charge of appointing council members, did not respond to Argus' requests for comment.

"My Democratic colleagues and I have been clear about the need for Democratic voices on this council — a concern leadership has so far failed to address," representative Nikki Budzinski (D-Illinois) said. "I will continue to press for real, bipartisan action that our growers deserve."

Proposals to expand E15 have historically drawn bipartisan support, particularly from Midwestern lawmakers keen to help the region's farmers. Democrats could still support legislation that includes an E15 deal even if left out of negotiations this month.

But some lobbyists close to the debate privately doubt that the council will reach any substantial compromise, especially after the earlier E15 proposal drew strong opposition from mid-sized oil refiners that want to maintain their ability to avoid the costly biofuel quotas. The council includes members from states with those refineries, including Gabe Evans' district (R-Colorado), where a Suncor refining complex is located, while CVR Energy and HF Sinclair have units in council co-chair Stephanie Bice's state (R-Oklahoma).

Some Republican US senators that have long wanted deeper reforms to the biofuel mandate program are also skeptical of the earlier proposal, complicating any deal's chance of passage.

"The federal government should not force Americans to put ethanol in their gas tanks," senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) said. "It is not good for the economy, the environment or car engines. We should not subsidize the corn industry at the expense of hardworking American families."

The latest E15 proposal was developed partly by the American Petroleum Institute — an influential lobby within the Republican Party — and has won the support of larger oil refiners like Valero. Farmers' and fuel groups that support the earlier bill have urged the council to focus narrowly on improving it, rather than considering more divisive fuel market issues too.

President Donald Trump, who has backed the biofuel industry with a proposal last year for record-high blend mandates, has made clear that he would sign legislation expanding E15 access. He said in an Iowa speech last month that he was optimistic Congress could strike a deal. It is unclear when the council, which includes a number of farm-state biofuel supporters too, plans to meet again.

The large majority of gasoline in the US is sold as a 10pc ethanol blend. Farm advocates have pushed for over a decade to loosen summertime smog rules that forbid sales of higher blends in much of the country without emergency waivers.   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Brownfield Ag News: The senior vice president of government affairs with the Renewable Fuels Association says he’s optimistic lawmakers will find a path forward on legislation for nationwide, year-round E15.

“We’re keeping our fingers crossed.”

The E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council met recently and Troy Bredenkamp tells Brownfield…

We are hopeful this council can come to terms with the vast majority of what’s already been agreed to and get something to the House floor as soon as possible.”

Bredenkamp says lawmakers have a tight timeframe to get something accomplished.

“We’re one week down. They’re supposed to have some kind of a settled agreement by February 15 and have legislation to be considered on the House floor by February 25.”

He says there’s still an opportunity to get E15 legislation onto a must-pass vehicle.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Ethanol Producer Magazine: Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, today called on lawmakers to act swiftly on E15 following another disappointing farm income forecast from the USDA.
 
"Rural America is hurting," said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy. "Corn growers were already expecting a net loss of $180 per acre, and this latest USDA report confirms that the broader farm income isn't faring much better. Our growers don't want to depend on federal aid for their livelihood — they want strong, stable markets for their crops. That's exactly what E15 delivers — an immediate source of demand for up to 2.4 billion additional bushels of corn — at no cost to taxpayers. Best of all, it means lower fuel prices for American drivers. Congress simply can't afford to wait any longer to deliver a permanent fix for E15."  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Energy.AgWired.com:  An historic alignment of agreement between the oil and ethanol industries is being held hostage by a small number of refiners, threatening the future of nationwide, year-round E15 (15% ethanol fuel).

Nebraska Ethanol Board chairman Jan tenBensel shared a graphic on social media last week calling out six refining companies by name with a combined revenue of nearly $172 billion. “The handful of refining companies trying to kill the year-round E15 bill make more money than all of our nation’s farmers and ranchers combined! Yet, they say they need RFS “hardship exemptions” to avoid blending ethanol and biodiesel? Give me a break!,” tenBensel said on X.

The companies named are Tennessee-based Delek US, HF Sinclair, Canadian companies Cenovus Energy and Suncor Energy, CVR Energy in Texas, and Houston-based Par Pacific.

The impact the refinery hold-outs could have on the push to get E15 legislation completed this month in Congress was discussed at last week’s Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit.

“I think this is a story of more than 95% of the liquid fuel supply chain on one side and six billion dollar companies masquerading as small refiners on the other side. And I think that retailers are firmly on the right side of that,” said Matt Durand, Deputy Legal Counsel, National Association of Convenience Stores.

Troy Bredenkamp, Senior Vice President of Government & Public Affairs for the Renewable Fuels Association, said the support for E15 is significant, but the retailers who are opposed are powerful. “We have probably 100% of the ag community in support or neutral. We have 100% of the retail segment in support or neutral, certainly the biofuel segment in support,” he said. “So you really have these outlying midstream refineries, publicly traded mostly, some of them are foreign-owned, that are the losers in the new deal. When you’re talking about shrinking the size of the small refining sector from 37 facilities down to 17, there’s losers in that group.”

Bredenkamp says there are about 20 refineries in total, with the six named mid-size refineries owning multiple facilities. “So there’s a windfall that they’re going to be out of if they don’t continue to get small refinery exemptions. The 5 or 6 in that category have friends in high places. And so those are the ones that we’re up against.”

Excerpt from E&E Daily:  A draft proposal obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News would authorize year-round sales of E15 while limiting the number of economic hardship exemptions for small refineries. In a nod to petroleum interests, the draft proposal would not reassign exempted volumes to other refineries.

The draft proposal would codify a definition of economic hardship EPA would use in granting exemptions, and it would bar renewable fuel credits for electric vehicles — the so-called eRINs that proved complex for EPA to implement during the Biden administration.

Lawmakers say they hope the negotiations, which House leaders organized around a tight timeline, will finally lead to a breakthrough after years of failed attempts to enact a permanent, nationwide authorization for the higher ethanol blend.

House Republican leaders appointed members to the council and tasked them with submitting recommendations by Sunday, with the goal of considering a revamped biofuels bill on the House floor by Feb. 25.

“We’ve been meeting aggressively,” said Rep. Zach Nunn (R-Iowa), who played a key role in getting House leaders to charter the council.

“I think we’re getting to a point now where we’re all marching on the same page of what’s in the realm of the possible,” Nunn added. “That should be encouraging for anybody — not just the E15 guys — [but] the refiners, the biofuels and, candidly, American national security.”

...

The effort has largely excluded Democrats and entirely left out the Senate, where any House-passed bill would likely face new hurdles.

“I don’t think the Senate is involved in what Feenstra is doing, but we’ve got to be,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). “The problem is in the Senate, to satisfy the senators that are holding it up.”

In a brief interview, Grassley recalled when senators thought they had a deal to insert the “Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act” — H.R. 1346 and S. 593, from Nebraska Republicans Rep. Adrian Smith and Sen. Deb Fischer — into the fiscal 2026 defense policy bill last fall. The amendment did not get a vote amid opposition from oil-state Republican senators.

...

Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) said the energy council’s ability to find compromise on small refinery waivers will be “key” to any deal: “If we can get that adjusted,” he said, “we can get some of the folks on board that have been pushing back and hopefully get it done.”

...

Petroleum refiners and their political allies from states such as Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming have been responsible for putting the brakes on E15 legislation, arguing that an ever-growing flow of ethanol threatens to put small refineries out of business unless some of the RFS rules are changed.

The Fueling American Jobs Coalition, an industry group, urged lawmakers to protect midsize refiners from RFS compliance costs.

“Current draft proposals might work for the world’s largest oil companies, many of whom have offshored refining capacity, but these so-called ‘compromises’ will only force mid-size, independent American refiners out of business,” the coalition said in a statement Thursday.

While the coalition can accept year-round E15 sales coupled with lower renewable fuel credit costs, the group said, “We cannot support any proposals that will be used to drive up the ethanol mandate, a goal the ethanol lobby has openly stated, and a significant threat to mid-size refiners.”

Technically, the RFS, created in the early 2000s, doesn’t have an ethanol mandate, since other types of biofuel can meet the law’s overall goals. But in practice, corn-based ethanol is the main driver of the program, even though Congress envisioned that other sources would gain dominance over the years.

Biofuel groups counter that small refineries asking for hardship exemptions are often part of bigger, profitable companies and that most just pass along the compliance costs to consumers — an assertion the refiners dispute.   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Argus Media:  450mn RIN cap

The House task force's proposal would make the program somewhat more predictable. EPA would initially have to exempt 450mn RINs from annual biofuel obligations but no more, prioritizing companies that prove the most hardship.

That would be a substantial drop from the nearly 1bn RINs the Trump administration has already exempted from 2024 quotas, initially set at 21.5bn credits. If mandates rise over time, EPA must proportionally raise that 450mn RIN cap.

One gallon of corn ethanol generates 1 RIN, while more energy-dense fuels like renewable diesel earn more. Unexpected exemptions can hurt RIN prices, cutting into biorefinery margins and curtail demand for crops like corn and soybeans.

Other changes would limit — but not entirely eliminate — EPA's discretion. Regulators would have to largely stick to their current system for measuring hardship, which factors in criteria like a refinery's access to capital. EPA would also have to consider "additional materials" determined by the council to limit "abuse", though the framework does not elaborate on what this would entail.

An earlier proposal backed by the American Petroleum Institute and ethanol groups would have restricted exemptions to companies with limited collective refining capacity, angering some larger companies that would have lost the ability to win exemptions for smaller units they own. The latest proposal would leave it to EPA to decide which facilities deserve relief, letting small companies, mid-sized refiners like Delek and even oil majors like Chevron still compete for a smaller pool of exemptions.

EPA could not force larger oil companies to blend more biofuels to offset exemptions for their smaller rivals and would have to automatically extend exemptions if it takes more than six months to weigh a company's new request. The framework would also keep the program focused around fuels that retailers can easily blend, blocking EPA from ever reviving a Biden plan to credit biogas that powers electric vehicles.

The proposal shared with Argus makes no explicit mention of removing summertime limits of E15, though that is the top priority for farm-state lawmakers on the council keen to help corn farmers. Trump has made clear too he wants to expand E15 access. The framework would require EPA to finalize E15 labeling and storage standards.

The proposal includes no details on timing. Some biofuel advocates have pushed delaying any changes to 2028, worried that near-term shifts could delay the Trump administration's goal of finalizing new biofuel quotas before April. READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Energy.AgWired.com:  It should come as no shock to anyone that the deadline for the “E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council” to come up with legislation for Congress came and went February 15 without any notice and the House of Representatives is off this week, making it unlikely anything will be done before the end of the month. But the ethanol industry remains determined to get this issue resolved after fighting for so many years.

The Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy, and the National Corn Growers Association released a joint statement Tuesday regarding the lack of progress toward a permanent, legislative fix offering consumers year-round access to E15.

“Year-round, nationwide E15 is an urgent priority for rural America, and it can’t wait. House leaders already have bipartisan, consensus legislation that has broad support from the overwhelming majority of biofuels, agriculture, fuel retail, and oil refining interests. The solution is on the table, and we urge council members to refocus their attention on proposals that already have widespread support. Year-round E15 will deliver real savings for hard-working families and open a reliable market for U.S. farmers struggling to stay afloat. We cannot allow a tiny handful of mid-sized refiners to take year-round E15 hostage while demanding outlandish handouts, just to line their pockets at the expense of everyone else,” said RFA President & CEO Geoff Cooper, Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor, and Ohio farmer and National Corn Growers Association President Jed Bower.

The “Council” was just created on January 22, after Congress failed to adopt E15 legislation as part of the recent appropriations bill, and charged with developing “legislative solutions to address the crisis facing our nation’s farmers and refiners.”

Directed to “investigate topics including, but not limited to, the sale of Ethanol-15, U.S. refinery capacity, the Renewable Fuel Standard Program, Renewable Identification Numbers, access to markets, and federal regulations that hinder American energy dominance,” the council was to develop “legislative solutions” by February 15 to be considered no later than February 25. Reps. Stephanie Bice (R-OK) and Randy Feenstra (R-IA), were assigned as co-chairs of the council.

The council has faced criticism for only including Republicans and has been unable to overcome opposition from a handful of refineries that would stand to lose access to exemptions from the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) Executive Director Monte Shaw said the industry cannot afford to give up on this issue. “This is no time for quitting on E15,” said Shaw. “Farmers and consumers are counting on Congress and President Trump to finish the job for E15….Congress needs to prove it can function, because we’re getting fed up with the dysfunction.”

While February 15 has passed, Shaw points out the rule authorizing the Council gave until the end of the month for floor action on E15  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Minnesota Star Tribune:  The Republican-controlled Congress and Trump administration have yet to authorize year-round higher ethanol blends, the latest fumble on a farm agenda that could grow into a political liability as the midterm election season heats up.

An all-GOP task force charged with bringing forward a solution between pro-ethanol forces and oil refinery lobbies to nationalize year-round E-15 fell short of a self-imposed deadline this week.

Minnesota and corn belt states already have a waiver to allow the fuel blend with more ethanol in it, but in another year where crop farmers can’t sell all their harvest and commodity prices are low, the move to make E-15 nationwide seemed like it would be a solid win for farmers.

Stalled farm bill negotiations and trade woes from tariffs already have weakened support for Republican leaders, putting some congressional seats at risk that were solid red for many years.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Texas Food and Fuel Association: In a recent letter to U.S. Representatives Randy Feenstra (R-IA) and Stephanie Bice (R-OK), Rob Underwood, President of the Energy Marketers of America (EMA), outlined the organization's strong support for policies aimed at enhancing energy security, economic growth, and consumer options in the fuel sector. Representing a federation of 48 state and regional trade associations, EMA emphasized the critical role of family-owned energy marketers in America's fuel distribution network.

A key focus of the letter was EMA's endorsement of legislation to establish a permanent nationwide waiver for year-round sales of E15 gasoline—a blend containing 15 percent ethanol. This position was formalized last October when EMA's Board of Directors voted in favor of the measure. The bipartisan Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act (S.593/H.R.1346) would extend the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) waiver currently applied to E10 blends, preventing the creation of fragmented "boutique" gasoline markets in Midwestern states that have opted out of the E10 waiver.

Underwood highlighted the potential downsides of such boutique markets, including disrupted gasoline supplies, increased costs, and reduced fuel fungibility. These issues could ultimately drive-up prices at the pump for consumers. "Passing this permanent waiver is essential to maintaining a stable and efficient fuel market," he stated, noting that EMA has consistently raised alarms about the risks to supply chains and affordability.

The letter also advocated for increased investments in the Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP), an initiative launched during the first Trump Administration. To date, HBIIP has allocated $537 million to support 543 projects across 29 states, providing cost-share grants for upgrades at fueling stations and distribution facilities. These enhancements enable the handling of higher biofuel blends like E15, E85, and B20 biodiesel.

Underwood argued that bolstering HBIIP would expand access to American-made biofuels, generate well-paying jobs in rural areas, diversify energy supplies, and shield farmers from market fluctuations. "This program has proven its value in building out the infrastructure needed for a more resilient energy future," he wrote, calling on Congress to prioritize additional funding to accelerate these benefits.

Excerpt from Michigan Farm News:  A lack of progress toward a permanent legislative fix to offer year-round E15 nationwide has ag and biofuel groups pushing back against small oil refineries they say are holding the process “hostage.”

Biofuels groups Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association were joined by the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) in calling on House and Senate leaders to step up after the Rural Domestic Energy Council failed to meet its Feb. 15 deadline for reaching a deal on consensus legislation for year-round E15. 

That council was formed after E15 legislation that was widely anticipated to be included in a January federal spending bill was not included last minute. 

“Year-round, nationwide E15 is an urgent priority for rural America, and it can’t wait. House leaders already have bipartisan, consensus legislation that has broad support from the overwhelming majority of biofuels, agriculture, fuel retail, and oil refining interests,” leaders from the biofuels groups and NCGA wrote in a statement.

“We cannot allow a tiny handful of mid-sized refiners to take year-round E15 hostage while demanding outlandish handouts, just to line their pockets at the expense of everyone else.”

The groups noted that President Donald J. Trump has voiced his support from year-round E15 and added that expanding sales of the 15% ethanol fuel blend would deliver savings for families and open a reliable market for American farmers at a critical time. 

The Iowa Corn Growers Association and Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) released a similar statement to the national groups, noting that while the Feb. 15 deadline passed, the rule authorizing the Energy Council has until the end of the month for floor action on E15. 

“This is no time for quitting on E15. Farmers and consumers are counting on Congress and President Trump to finish the job for E15,” said Monte Shaw, IRFA executive director. 

“A small number of foreign owned oil refiners should not be allowed to sabotage an E15 agreement supported by the vast majority of farmers, retailers, oil refiners, and consumers. Congress needs to prove it can function, because we’re getting fed up with the dysfunction.” 

A recent corn supply study underscored the need to develop new markets to underpin farm income and rural economies. According to the study, adoption of nationwide, year-round E15 would provide robust near-term demand with the ability to return corn prices to profitable levels.   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Biofuels International:  A bipartisan group of lawmakers and industry stakeholders in the United States Congress has put forward a fresh proposal aimed at ending a long-running impasse over the future of E15.

The fuel, cheaper than standard gasoline and approved for use in most vehicles, has been at the centre of heated debate in Washington for years. Under the latest plan, representatives from biofuel producers, agricultural groups and major oil interests have reportedly reached a tentative deal to secure year-round access to E15 nationwide.

The proposal, which would be introduced as the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2026, also includes revisions to the controversial small refinery exemption system, seen by many as a barrier to broader ethanol use.

Supporters argue that a permanent legislative solution would provide much-needed certainty to farmers, refiners and retailers, and could stimulate demand for domestic corn while lowering costs at the pump.

However, efforts to include year-round E15 language in recent funding legislation stalled, leading to the creation of an E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council tasked with developing legislative options.

Advocates now hope that the council can forge a durable compromise before the summer driving season, amid growing frustration across the biofuels sector at continuing delays. READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Bloomberg/Financial Post:  The congressional council’s latest plan — in addition to allowing year-round nationwide sales of E15 — raises the amount of exemptions allowable on blending mandates, according to people with knowledge of the proposal.

...

Under the current waiver program, each gallon of ethanol or biodiesel mixed into transportation fuels generates credits — so-called renewable identification numbers, or RINs — that oil refiners use to meet their federal blending obligations. 

Article content

The tweaked plan would limit exemptions on obligations for small refineries to 550 million RINs per year, the people said. That’s 100 RINs per year higher than the original proposal, in a nod to small and mid-sized refiners who said the limit was too small.

Article content

It’s only the latest in these negotiations, which are being closely watched by the industries as well as by lawmakers from energy and agriculture states. The proposal is expected to be attached to must-pass legislation, though it’s unclear whether the draft will move forward as is. Mid-size and small refiners may still see the deal as not providing enough room for exemptions.

...

The council has released a discussion draft and is having “productive meetings as they work towards a final product,” said Alexandra Hamel, a spokesperson for council co-chair Randy Feenstra.

Article content

The wrangling over the proposal comes as the industries have also been anxiously awaiting the Trump administration’s finalization of blending quotas. That has been delayed, leaving uncertainty over how companies will be impacted.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Politico Pro:  Biofuels backers are warning lawmakers that they will oppose any congressional proposal to permit year-round E15 fuel sales that includes certain provisions sought by mid-size oil refiners.

...

E15 supporters are asking council co-chairs Reps. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.) and Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa) to scrap those tweaks, according to a letter first obtained by POLITICO, expressing concern that mid-size oil refiners who tanked the January deal could ask for more than ethanol producers want.

The group asked that the 450 million Renewable Identification Number (RINs) cap for Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs) stay the same, and that lawmakers ban reallocation of granted exemptions, also pushing for a plan to immediately implement year-round E15 sales and delay SRE changes until 2028.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Brownfield Ag News:  Iowa Congressman Randy Feenstra, a member of the House Rural Domestic Energy Council, says the group had a positive meeting on Wednesday.

“This is full on, year round E15 and we worked with the small, midsized and large refiners,” Feenstra says. “We worked with all the biofuels folks. We believe we’ve got something that works for all farmers…We’ve got to get it across the finish line.”

Feenstra told Radio Iowa that President Trump’s recently stated support for E15 has been helpful in negotiations.

“Agriculture’s the backbone of this state and we have to make sure we’re helping our farmers and that means opening new markets,” Feenstra said. “We don’t want handouts. We want new markets.

Nebraska Congressman Adrian Smith, also a member of the council, says pushback from small and mid-sized refiners has been the main holdup.

“I’m pleased that we’ve elevated the profile such that a lot of folks are saying they have no opposition to E15 itself, but it’s in the details of the Small Refinery Exemptions (SREs) for example that a lot of the refiners want access to.”

The council has until February 25th to submit a bill for a vote on the House floor.   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Energy.AgWired.com:  At the recent 2026 Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau annual meeting, Washington ag consultant Jim Wiesemeyer emphasized the critical role of domestic ethanol demand — particularly year-round E15 sales — in supporting U.S. corn growers amid low commodity prices and cash flow pressures.

Wiesemeyer stressed that expanding E15 could significantly boost corn consumption and help reduce burdensome carryover stocks. “If we get year-round E15, it will be very good for the consumption of corn,” Wiesemeyer said. “And that’s going to whittle down those stocks. If you whittle down carryover, that means higher prices, or should be.”

Wiesemeyer says the U.S. lags behind other countries using E25 or E30 blends, calling for higher levels like E20 or E25 to further drive demand. “We really should be at E20 or E25,” he said. “Look at other countries around the world. They’re going E25, E30. So we’re behind the curve on that one. That’s for the future. That’s building for the future to more domestic consumption.”

With farmers facing consecutive low-price years, Wiesemeyer views expanded domestic utilization as a jobs creator and market stabilizer, reducing reliance on volatile exports. Combined with the 45Z clean fuel tax credit and potential RFS increases for 2026-2027, these policies could provide much-needed demand signals. As congressional efforts for permanent nationwide E15 continue amid ongoing debates and missed deadlines, Wiesemeyer remains optimistic that progress on year-round access would temper market negatives and bolster farm incomes by harvest time.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Argus Media: The lawmakers last week floated limiting exemptions to 450mn program credits a year but is now considering a plan to raise that amount to 550mn credits a year in a bid to assuage oil refiners, according to three people familiar with the debate.

...

Exemption decisions have varied wildly over time, although President Donald Trump's administration has unnerved farmers by granting many refiners' hardship requests — including nearly 1bn RINs exempted from 2024 quotas, initially set at 21.5bn credits. The program is important for crop demand and retail fuel prices, and the council has tried to devise changes to make the program more predictable.

The E15 council's latest proposal would make some changes immediately, including allowing year-round sales of E15 gasoline and blocking some Midwestern states from requiring a boutique fuel blend this summer that would allow more ethanol blending.

The plan would also maintain an earlier provision that compensates some unnamed small refinery owners for past compliance by providing them with special RINs that do not expire. A framework shared with Argus shows that these credits — estimated at 363mn RINs — could be provided to refiners this year and could count toward old mandates or be used in future years.

But the big changes to exemptions would take effect starting in 2028, a win for farm groups that were concerned the council's work would delay the Trump administration's efforts to set new biofuel quotas in the coming weeks.

The latest plan would require EPA to exempt no more than 550mn RINs from annual biofuel obligations, starting in 2028, although that cap would increase or decrease proportionally as mandates get more or less ambitious. Regulators would not be able to force other companies to blend more biofuels to offset their smaller rivals' waivers, also starting in 2028, an addition pushed by oil majors.

All refineries currently eligible could apply for exemptions, although the E15 council's latest plan would remove a requirement that only facilities that qualified at the program's outset could continue winning them, allowing refineries that process no more than 10,000 b/d of crude that started up later to compete for relief.

...

The process for applying for hardship relief would largely stay the same, though refineries would have to apply for 2028 exemptions ahead of time and could appeal initial decisions. Under current rules, companies can submit hardship requests — including for years-old mandates — at any time.

...

A group of 27 oil refineries criticized the latest plan in a letter to the council Thursday. The bloc, which includes facilities small enough to win exemptions as well as larger units owned by merchant refiner PBF, wants the E15 council to scrap exemption caps and instead require regulators to set less-aspirational biofuel mandates tied to actual ethanol consumption.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Politico Pro E&E News PM:  Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden, second in charge to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, told attendees at USDA's annual outlook conference that the administration remains committed to making higher-ethanol fuel available year-round and to expanding volumes through the renewable fuel standard.

"We need E15 in this country," Vaden said, referring to the 15 percent ethanol blend that can't be sold during summer months in most of the country.

Vaden, who introduced a biofuels industry panel discussion, delivered his remarks as lawmakers are trying to reach an agreement to lift those seasonal restrictions through legislation, a deal that will require concessions from both biofuel and petroleum interests. The House Republican leadership has targeted a related vote for later this month but a firm proposal hadn't emerged by Thursday (February 19, 2026) afternoon. READ MORE

 

 

Excerpt from Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network: The ethanol industry says a handful of mid-sized oil refiners are the major hangup for year-round E15 legislation and are prioritizing profits over a deal which would allow access to E15 year-round.

Troy Bredenkamp of the Renewable Fuels Association says the six mid-sized oil refiners are the hold-up to a deal that was already agreed to by the broader energy industry.

...

Bredenkamp says the mid-sized refiners are made up of multiple refiners with backing by major corporate stakeholders that do not need federal assistance.

...

He points out that after no deal was reached by February 15th, a pivot may be necessary towards the original deal endorsed by the American Petroleum Institute. Bredenkamp says it could be attached to a must-pass spending bill like Homeland Security to thread the needle for nationwide E15 access year-round.

...

If the window for legislation closes it would lead to another E15 emergency summertime waiver and further uncertainty for corn growers and an expanding demand problem.  READ MORE; includes AUDIO
