Grassley Recognized With 2018 Fueling Growth Award

Earlier this month, Senator Chuck Grassley was presented the Growth Energy, 2018 Fueling Growth Award. Growth Energy represents producers and supporters of ethanol, and they say this award is reserved for their esteemed congressional champions who have demonstrated their unwavering support for the biofuels industry and aggressively advocated for their members top priorities. “Ethanol is an important piece of America’s energy strategy. It is a great source of sustainable, clean energy that is good for the rural economy and America’s energy independence,” Grassley says. “Environmentally-friendly alternative energy creates jobs for American workers and gives consumers a choice. I’m honored to receive this recognition,” he adds. This year, Grassley joined a bipartisan group of 35 other senators urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to increase volume obligations for biomass-based diesel and advanced biofuel and ensure any small refiner economic hardship exceptions are appropriately accounted for in its final rule for the Renewable Fuel Standard. He has also led the charge in encouraging the Trump administration to approve E15 for year-round sales.
