WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — On Thursday members of the Biofuels Caucus, led by Representative Dusty Johnson, urged Environmental Protection Agency Secretary Michael Regan to meet with the bipartisan group of lawmakers to discuss prioritizing the Renewable Fuel Standard and higher ethanol and biodiesel blends in consultation with agricultural stakeholders.
According to recent reports, biofuels or corn ethanol produce greenhouse gas emissions at a significantly lower rate than gasoline.
The caucus said that, “Biofuels producers need to be included in any climate conversation.”
