Biofuels plan sets up Iowa as a national leader during energy industry transformation

Biofuels plan sets up Iowa as a national leader during energy industry transformation
Grant Kimberley, Iowa View contributor
We stand on the edge of a decade likely to see irrevocable change on many fronts. This includes where our energy supply comes from. An economic boom will surely accompany this energy shift, and Iowa is well-positioned to capture those benefits.

Gov. Kim Reynolds has shown foresight in putting Iowa on that economic path, most recently introducing legislation that would set a minimum biofuels standard in the state and encourage higher blends. For biodiesel, this would mean most Iowa diesel would contain at least 11% (B11) during warmer months beginning in April of 2022, and 20% (B20) during warmer months, starting in 2024, much as Minnesota does. Missouri and Illinois have proposed similar legislation. The time is right for this evolution in our energy values, and for Iowa to lead by example.

President-elect Joe Biden has announced he will nominate Tom Vilsack as secretary of agriculture. Vilsack is a former two-term governor of Iowa who served as secretary of agriculture during all eight years of the Obama-Biden administration.
Representatives of the American Coalition for Ethanol, Growth Energy, Renewable Fuels Association, Iowa Renewable Fuels Association and Iowa Biodiesel Board have spoken out in support of Vilsack’s nomination.
“We congratulate Tom Vilsack on his nomination to once again lead USDA and know that he will hit the ground running,” said Brian Jennings, CEO of ACE. “Secretary Vilsack was the most effective advocate the biofuels industry had in the Obama administration and we are excited about working with him again, particularly with helping get the RFS back on track, continued infrastructure support for higher ethanol blends, and making sure farmers and biofuel producers are part of the solution to future policies designed to tackle climate change.”
