Tom Vilsack has officially been nominated to serve as Secretary of Agriculture in the Biden Administration, reprising the role he held under President Obama for eight years, and the biofuels industry is quite happy with that decision.
Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Geoff Cooper says Vilsack is an excellent choice. “We are especially happy to have someone in the Biden administration who intimately understands the crucial role renewable fuels and agriculture can play in confronting climate change. We thank the president-elect and look forward to working once again with the new secretary once he takes office.”
During his time as Secretary, Vilsack frequently attended the major agricultural and biofuels events, including the National Ethanol Conference, National Biodiesel Conference, Commodity Classic, ACE Annual Meeting, and the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit.

Excerpt from Renewable Fuels Association: In a filing submitted yesterday, the Department of Justice recommended
against Supreme Court review of the Tenth Circuit Court’s ruling earlier this year that invalidated several small refinery exemptions issued by EPA under the Renewable Fuel Standard. The DOJ filing is in response to a petition submitted in September by HollyFrontier Corporation and CVR Energy, in which the oil refiners ask the Supreme Court to review the Tenth Circuit’s January decision.
The petitioners in the original Tenth Circuit Court challenge the Renewable Fuels Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Farmers Union, and American Coalition for Ethanol welcomed the government’s brief opposing Supreme Court review of the appeals court decision. RFA, NCGA, NFU and ACE plan to file their own brief with the Supreme Court today echoing the points raised by DOJ and adding others in opposing review of the Tenth Circuit’s decision.
