27 Sep Renew Kansas Applauds Kansas Congressional Delegation for Year-Round E15 Support
Members of the United States House of Representatives, including the entirety of the Kansas congressional delegation, worked to introduce the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, which is a bipartisan effort to allow for the year-round availability of E15 fuel nationwide.
Renew Kansas Biofuels Association has been in frequent contact with the Kansas congressional delegation on the issue of year-round E15 and has frequently encouraged their support of the effort. The association applauds representatives Sharice Davids, Ron Estes, Jake LaTurner and Tracey Mann for their support of the legislation.
“We thank Representatives Davids, Estes, LaTurner and Mann, along with Senators Marshall and Moran for their support of year-round E15,” Renew Kansas President and CEO Ron Seeber said. “It’s imperative we allow consumers the choice to fill their vehicles with a more affordable and environmentally-friendly fuel.”
The Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act is a companion bill to the United States Senate’s S. 2707, of which, Kansas Senators Roger Marshall and Jerry Moran co-sponsored.
The legislation would allow the year-round, nationwide sale of ethanol blends higher than 10%, provide limited retroactive relief to small refiners, and supersede a recent effort to ensure year-round access to E15 in eight Midwest states.
