As 2024 rides off into the sunset, the American Coalition for Ethanol vows to continue the fight for year-round, nationwide E15 into the new year.

Getting so close to victory in the year-end legislation adopted by Congress was disappointing but ACE CEO Brian Jennings says the fact that Congressional leadership initially included it in the continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government is an encouraging sign for success in 2025.

“We are encouraged by this progress and confident E15 year-round has cleared enough hurdles to be included in the first must-pass bill Congress takes up in 2025,” said Jennings. “Ensuring year-round availability of E15 remains at the top of our legislative to-do list. It will help provide meaningful savings at the pump, enhance America’s energy security, and increase demand for low-carbon, homegrown ethanol. We will work with our champions in Congress, the administration, and stakeholders across the country to ensure Congress successfully enacts E15 year-round in time for the 2025 driving season.”

ACE encourages grassroots members and supporters to remain engaged and vows to highlight the importance of E15 year-round and other priorities during the organization’s Washington, D.C. Fly-in and Government Affairs Summit March 27-28, 2025.
