The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) commends the lawmakers who successfully included a provision for nationwide, year-round E15 in the federal funding bill. ACE CEO Brian Jennings issued the statement below in reaction:
“Legislation to ensure year-round availability of E15 in the U.S. has been at the top of our to-do list for a very long time. We are enormously grateful to our champions in Congress who persistently worked to include this provision in the year-end package.
“Inclusion of this provision will drive demand for homegrown, low-carbon ethanol, tackle inflation by delivering savings at the pump for consumers and strengthen America’s energy security. We are deeply grateful to the senators and representatives who fought tirelessly to make this happen.”
ACE extends its thanks to grassroots members whose advocacy played a critical role in achieving this victory. Advocates can utilize ACE’s Action Center to call on their members of Congress in support of this provision in the end-of-year package.
