NCGA to EPA: Remove Barriers to Increase Ethanol Demand
USAgNet - 10/28/2020

The National Corn Growers Association, along with 14 state affiliate associations, urged the Environmental Protection Agency to provide more certainty and use forward-looking data analysis to update policy that will lead to greater flex-fuel vehicle production and increased demand for higher blends of ethanol.

The associations submitted comments in response to EPA's request for input on data sources and analytical approaches on which to base an updated weighting factor (F-factor) for E85 FFVs for model year 2021 and later.

"As the producers of the primary feedstock for ethanol, corn farmers support a forward-looking, consistent, long-term F-factor that provides automakers with greater certainty in compliance crediting for planning vehicle production," the associations wrote.

"Corn farmers have responded to the demand for clean, renewable fuel with increased productivity. Corn production has improved on all measures of resource efficiency, including higher crop yields per acre, resulting in greater corn production using less land and fewer inputs, further fortifying ethanol as a sustainable, low-carbon renewable fuel," they added.
