Biofuels like ethanol reduce carbon emissions & costs at the pump.

Growth Energy supports uninterrupted access to lower-cost E15, and a permanent fix is needed. This summer — thanks to access to E15 — drivers have seen savings of up to 60¢ per...

E15, a 15% ethanol blended fuel, is a lower-cost, lower-carbon option at the gas pump. A nationwide shift to E15 would save $20 billion+ in fuel costs each year.

These biofuel tax credits are essential to promoting innovation in rural communities, providing greater long-term energy security, and allowing biofuel producers and farmers to play a role in global decarbonization efforts.

The ethanol industry purchased $32 billion of corn last year. Access to year-round E15, a 15 percent ethanol blend at the pump, would create demand for 2.4 billion additional bushels of corn...

Biofuels are the most cost effective and expeditious solution for nations looking to achieve carbon reduction goals and improve their energy security. But tariffs, technical trade barriers, and inaccurate carbon intensity scores...

New standards proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would govern tailpipe emissions for light-duty vehicles starting with the 2027 model year. Unfortunately, the proposal risks leaving millions of tons of...

For years biofuel producers have been at the forefront of decarbonizing the transportation sector. That’s why they’re consistently making technological improvements to reduce ethanol’s carbon intensity (CI). According to California regulators, ethanol’s...

Section 45Z of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides a tax credit for the domestic production of clean transportation fuels including ethanol, biodiesel, and sustainable aviation fuels. Also known as the Clean...
