The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) today congratulates Aaron Szabo on his Senate confirmation as Assistant Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Office of Air and Radiation. ACE CEO Brian Jennings issued the following statement in response:
"We congratulate Aaron Szabo on his confirmation as Assistant Administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation at a pivotal time for the Renewable Fuel Standard. We look forward to working with Mr. Szabo to swiftly finalize strong, multi-year renewable fuel blending targets and ensure that the 2026 and 2027 volumes remain whole and consistent with the law. We also appreciate his time with our DC Fly-In group this past March, a positive sign EPA is engaged on important biofuel issues. Ethanol remains a critical tool for strengthening U.S. energy security, lowering fuel costs for consumers, and supporting farmers."
