Ethanol supporters turned out in force this week for a field hearing on EPA’s proposed volume obligations under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Over 120 witnesses testified in favor of EPA following the rule as passed by Congress by increasing the proposed 2017 requirement for conventional biofuel volumes to the statutory level of 15 billion gallons.
In this report, we hear comments from Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) president and CEO Bob Dinneen and others who testified at the hearing, including RFA chairman Randy Doyal, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts, and celebrity farmer Chris Soules.
