In its comments, Growth Energy challenged EPA’s legal justification to issue the rule and highlighted the inconsistencies in EPA’s approach to evaluating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the lifecycles of electric vehicles (EVs) versus internal combustion engine vehicles. The comments also call on EPA to update its final standards to include biofuels as a necessary solution to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector.
“This proposal is unnecessarily narrow, presenting a false choice between only two paths forward – fossil-fuel-only vehicles or mass adoption of EVs. Neither outcome reflects reality, and EPA’s framework ignores the proven, available, and American-made solution of emissions-reducing biofuel," said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor.

Help Us Secure Year-Round E15: Send Us Photos of Cost Savings in Your Area
E15/UNL88 is available at fuel terminals across the U.S. this summer thanks to a successful campaign by Growth Energy and the biofuels industry to secure an emergency waiver from the EPA. This was a welcome development but Growth Energy continues to make the case for year-round E15 to the EPA, on Capitol Hill, and in state legislatures around the country. If you see an example of significant cost savings at a fuel station near you, take a picture (like the ones above) and share it with us! We'll put your photos to good use telling the story of how E15 saves drivers money.
