The momentum continues to build for year-round E15. Growth Energy Senior Director of Government Affairs John Fuhrer says expanding access to E15 offers a long-term, no-cost way to strengthen domestic demand. “They want to find more ways to get corn into the marketplace, they want to find more ways to build up that price and this is a really good fit for that.” Changing political dynamics and ongoing negotiations signal growing interest in making year-round E15 permanent. Fuher notes that policymakers appear more open to a solution that delivers benefits to both farmers and consumers. “There is some recognition on the oil side, this is a good thing for consumers; this is a good thing for farmers. And I think it’s finding that right mix to get enough people over the hump to get this done.”
