Biofuels groups are looking forward to a Trump White House

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin for EPA Administrator.

We are waiting to hear how the biofuels industry responds to it, but for now, it it feeling re-energized with the new Administration. The Renewable Fuels Association says they have high hopes for issues like year-round sales of E15.

“He has supported year-round E15 from the start, so we’re certainly going to urge him in the months ahead, to work with Congress. You know, it can’t be an executive order solution this time…it’s going to have to be a legislative solution,” said Troy Bredenkamp.

The Biden White House only approved year-round E15 for several states. When it comes to electric vehicle mandates, Bredenkamp says he is hopeful a Trump White House can reverse some of those rules.
