And, Gard says, and E15 standard could be just the start. “We also have E30 and E85 buttons. Once the E15 year-round waiver gets put in place and we start converting to E15. Then we are going to do the same exact drill on E30 when we start promoting heavily on E30.”
American Coalition for Ethanol CEO Brian Jennings says the only way to make E15 a national standard without a court challenge is through Congress.
Brownfield interviewed Gard at the 2022 ACE Annual Conference in Omaha, NE.
