WASHINGTON – Following the 2027-2032 tailpipe emissions standards released today by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Farmers Union (NFU) President Rob Larew issued a statement addressing the need for immediate reductions to greenhouse gases and the role that ethanol can play in those reductions:
“We share EPA’s mission to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but today’s finalized tailpipe emissions rules are a missed opportunity for the immediate benefits that ethanol can provide. NFU will continue to advocate for higher level blends like E30 and we look forward to continued conversations with EPA on how family farmers can step in to provide cleaner burning liquid fuels for our existing consumer vehicle fleet.”
