New Poll Finds Growing Bipartisan Support for RFS and Ethanol – Advanced BioFuels USA advancedbiofuelsusa.info - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from advancedbiofuelsusa.info Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The hacking of the Colonial Pipeline showed Americans the vulnerability of our energy supply, and how much we depend on it to power our economy. Stretching from Texas to New York, Colonial transports 45 percent of the East Coastâs fuel supply, carrying gasoline, heating oil, diesel and jet fuel. The pipeline services one of Americaâs most populated corridors, delivering more than 100 million gallons of refined fuels each day.
So when a cyberattack shut the pipeline down â bringing fuel transportation to a halt and causing gas prices to climb â it was a stark reminder that we need to protect and support the regional diversity of our nationâs refining capacity.
Life after ethanol: Are we prepared? Things are changing. Farmers might find themselves producing too much corn.

Most Midwestern farms depend on ethanol. Yet, many signs point toward a near future of fading ethanol demand. What will this mean for farm families and rural communities across the Corn Belt?
It is time to take a close look at the future of the ethanol industry. If the situation is not addressed and solutions aren t developed, farmers could find themselves in a very dangerous crisis spurred by oversupply. Let s start the conversation right now.
In 2020, American farmers produced a staggering amount of corn 14.2 billion bushels. If we threw every kernel into one pile, it would tower more than 4,000 feet a literal mountain of corn!
In Iowa, Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), a member of both the Senate Agriculture and Environment and Public Works Committees, is continuing her work for Iowa’s farmers and biofuel producers by helping to introduce bipartisan legislation to bring more transparency and predictability to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) small refinery exemption process.
The bill would require small refineries to petition for Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) hardship exemptions by June 1st of each year, a change that ensures EPA properly accounts for exempted gallons in the annual Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) it sets each November.
The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Integrity Act of 2021 would:
