Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor said the White House sent a strong signal at Tuesday’s event in Iowa. “I’m going to use the president’s own words. He said American biofuels have a role to play now.” Skor told reporters the next steps for the industry will be working with Congress to pass a law for a permanent E-15 fix. “We have to go back and visit with our bipartisan champions and see what the path forward looks like,” said Skor. “It takes time, a little bit of education and creative thinking. We’re seeing the fruits of that labor in conversations with our champions.”
