In the second part of our review of 2015, we take a look at the major events and announcements in the second half of the year.
With the Iowa caucuses a mere few weeks away, ethanol has once again been thrusted into the spotlight. Only, this time, the question is whether it matters?
In 2014, for the second year straight, ethanol consumption in Minnesota comprised 12.2 percent of all motor gasoline consumed, new data from the EIA shows.
For the third consecutive month, sales of E15 in Minnesota hit a new record, this time with half a million gallons sold in November 2015.
After facing a barrage of attacks from the ethanol industry, Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, has offered up a bizzarre defense of his anti-RFS stance.
In late December, the RFA released a report noting the increasing number of automakers who have explicitly approved the use of E15 in their 2016 models. But inside that report was the startling revelation that MINI had approved the use of E25 for its 2016 MINI Hardtop models.
Last night, in President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, he said, “we’ve cut our imports of foreign oil by nearly sixty percent, and cut carbon pollution more than any other country on Earth.” Was he mentioning biofuels? Why is there a case of ambiguity?
Yesterday, we reported how MINI has approved the E25 for its Hardtop models since 2014. And as it turns out, it's parent company, BMW AG, has done likewise with one of its 2016 models.

Dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) are a highly sought-after feed due to its high-energy, mid-protein and high digestible phosphorus content and long shelf life.
Last week, we discovered that MINI has approved E25 for its hardtop models since 2014 and now it has extended that approval to two other models in its lineup.
Last week, several ethanol and ag groups filed a petition with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia challenging the EPA's final rule on the 2016 RFS. This week, an economist has weighed and raise more questions, suggesting the EPA's intepretation of the law is wrong.
Now that ethanol has become a major issue in the Republican presidential race in Iowa, it was only a matter of time before the media waded in.
Twin cities radio station, KS95 FM, will be with the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association at Richfield Minnoco on Jan 26 to encourage and rewards consumers who fuel up with E15.
Barely a few hours after Sen. Ted Cruz won the Iowa Caucuses, some pundits in the media have declared it was a sign that ethanol is no longer the third rail of politics in Iowa. But was that really the case?
It’s no secret that the transportation sector is one the largest contributors to climate change. But alarmingly, it continues to remain the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions.
The final numbers are out. E15 sales in Minnesota in 2015 closed at a record-breaking 3.09 million gallons.
