WASHINGTON, D.C.— Growth Energy today praised a bipartisan letter from U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and 14 other Senate leaders calling for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to chart “a path that provides stability and growth for the U.S. biofuel sector.” The letter addresses EPA’s proposed rule setting renewable volume obligations (RVOs) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2023-2025.
“A strong RFS, rooted in the best available science, remains the single most powerful tool this administration has for decarbonizing transportation while delivering savings at the pump,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “We’re grateful to Senators Klobuchar, Grassley, and other rural champions for their ongoing efforts to ensure EPA unlocks the full potential of biofuels to reach our climate and energy security goals. The latest production cuts by Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members only reinforce how important it is to shield American drivers from continued global uncertainty. With an ambitious RFS, and unrestricted access to higher blends like E15, we can deliver greater security and savings for working families.”
