E10 or gasoline with a 10 percent blend of ethanol has significantly reduced CO2 emissions. In Minnesota alone, it is estimated that E10 usage has prevented the release of 766,571 metric tons of CO2 in the air. So how much better would it be if all fuel usage in the state was E15?
On Jan 16, Senators Pat Toomey (R-Pa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) included an amendment to the Keystone XL pipeline bill that calls for the elimination of the corn-based ethanol requirements in the RFS. Needless to say, their arguments supporting the amendment weren’t fact-driven.
It's no big secret that the anti-ethanol crowd play very loosely with facts. But there has to be a limit. Don't these folks know that just about anyone with a smartphone can check up on their claims within seconds?
During his State of the Union address last night, it appeared as though President Barack Obama gave biofuels a mention when he spoke about efforts to combat climate change.
In 2014, the use of ethanol in our nation's transportation fuel supply prevented the release of an estimated 42.8 million metric tons of CO2 (that's a heck of a lot).
An anti-corn ethanol amendment that was included into the Keystone XL pipeline bill will not be considered, according to a report.
Barely weeks after an attempt to alter the RFS fell through in the Senate, four Congressmen have offered up their own version of an equally-ludicrous bill that seeks to eliminate the use of corn-based ethanol.
Corn use for ethanol production in the 2014/15 marketing year will account for 22 percent of total corn supply, according to the USDA's latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.

On March 10, the New York Times carried an op-ed titled, "End the Ethanol Rip-Off." As one can deduce from the title, the op-ed contained many false statements on ethanol. Media Matters for America has revealed that the op-ed's author, Robert Bryce, has close ties to the oil industry.
RFS reform is the sort of thing you expect to hear from Big Oil and its cohorts (EWG, Action Aid and other frivolous organizations) but not from a group that supposedly represents the advanced biofuels industry.
