Saying it is a win-win for American farmers, the Illinois Farm Bureau is commending the federal government’s decision to support the ethanol industry over biofuel waivers granted to oil refineries.
The Environmental Protection Agency said it is reversing course and will support a decision by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver in a lawsuit filed by the Renewable Fuels Association and farm groups.
Federal law requires refiners to blend billion of gallons of biofuels in the country’s gasoline supply or buy credits from refineries that blend fuels. Refineries can seek waivers if they can show that meeting the ethanol quotas would create financial hardship for their companies.
