The president is under pressure to include ethanol and other biofuels in his climate and infrastructure plans, which are tilted toward supporting electric vehicles and charging stations

“In the long run, ethanol’s a dead-end fuel,” said Scott Faber, head of government affairs at the Environmental Working Group. In the interim, Faber said, ethanol is still useful while the transportation sector is dependent on gasoline and other liquid fuel.

“There’s so much low-hanging fruit for the administration right now,” said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy, a biofuel trade association. “You do that and you’re immediately going to infuse more biofuels in the fuel supply, and that’s going to reduce [greenhouse gas] emissions. You can do that like snap your fingers, tomorrow,” Skor said.

“There is no intent in terms of exclusion when we talk about the promising future of electric vehicles or when we talk about the promising future of advanced biofuels,” Regan said. “The reality is, as we talk about these promising futures, we have to deal with here and now.”He has already steered a small amount of federal money toward biofuel projects, like helping gas stations offer higher blends of ethanol and including processors in USDA’s latest round of pandemic relief programs.

Crazy how people don’t care when republicans do more damage to their sectors.

Ethanol is a terrible fuel. Corn is not the most efficient fuel source. It’s also not the best of plants for the environment.

Biofuels are a key component in moving commercial vehicles towards zev by 2050.

The only legitimate need for combustible fuel in the 21st century is air and space travel. That industry needs to accept its death and contribute to the transition to cleaner fuel and the jobs that support it.
