U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley has been recognized for his continuous support and advocacy for America’s biofuels producers with the 2022 Fueling Growth Award from Growth Energy, a national biofuel trade association. The award is presented to congressional members who champion the many benefits of biofuel use and promote expanded adoption at the national level. Grassley, who is still involved in his family farm in Butler County, says, “I’m humbled and honored to receive this recognition. I’ve worked hard to open up new markets for growth in the biofuels industry, and I always speak up for farmers in Iowa who feed and fuel the world.” Grassley adds it takes constant pressure at the federal level to ensure the requirements of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which mandates refineries blend a set volume of biofuels into their products, are upheld. Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor says, “No one has fought harder or longer than Senator Chuck Grassley to strengthen America’s leadership as the world’s top producer of low-carbon biofuels. We’re deeply grateful for his tireless work on behalf of rural communities in Iowa and across the nation, and we’re delighted to once again recognize him as a true biofuel champion.”
