The proof is at the pump. Thanks to retailers like @PilotFlyingJ , E15 is coast to coast. Now, Congress needs to make nationwide E15 access permanent. Drivers are ready. Biofuels producers are ready. Congress, it's time to deliver. ⛽🌽

One size does not fit all. 🌱 The DOE’s new 45Z process gives biofuel producers an opportunity to demonstrate how investments and innovation at their individual plants are lowering carbon intensity scores and maximizing potential tax credits. When producers invest in innovation, they deserve the opportunity to be rewarded for it. Read IRFA’s full statement here: iowarfa.org/2026/10/dept-of-…

These gallons matter. And today’s announcement sends a strong signal to Iowa’s farmers and biofuels producers. 🌽 IRFA applauds EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s draft rule to fully reallocate lost RFS volumes, protecting blending levels and delivering greater certainty for Iowa’s biofuels industry.

🌽📢 Thank you to @RepAshleyHinson @RepMMM @RepFeenstra and @NunnForCongress for standing up for Iowa farmers and biofuels producers. By urging EPA to fully restore RFS volumes lost to refinery exemptions, they're helping protect the integrity of the Renewable Fuel Standard and provide much-needed certainty for rural America.

The process is moving forward, but the job isn't finished yet. EPA's decision to restore waived RFS volumes was a major win for biofuels, and staying on schedule is essential to maintaining market certainty and supporting demand. Read press release here: iowarfa.org/2026/10/epa-begi…

A bipartisan effort in Congress could provide more certainty for Iowa’s small biodiesel producers. IRFA thanks Sens. Chuck Grassley and Amy Klobuchar for legislation that would extend the Small Agri-Biodiesel Producer Credit through 2029, supporting producers as the industry transitions to 45Z.

A little E15 made its way into the White House today. @IAGovernor was at the White House for an announcement on a major new steel investment in Iowa, and the conversation also turned to the importance of making E15 available year-round. Iowa has been leading the way on E15, and we appreciate Gov. Reynolds for continuing to keep year-round E15 at the forefront of the conversation in Washington.

45Z is a renewable fuels tax credit designed to promote lower carbon fuels. 🌱 ⛽ But its impact reaches far beyond the fuel tank. 45Z connects regenerative agriculture practices to ethanol production. The 45Z low carbon farming practices (like cover crops, reduced-till and improved nutrient management) are the same farming techniques used to improve Iowa’s water quality. 💧 As IRFA Executive Director Monte Shaw puts it, “Section 45Z will be the biggest clean-water program in the history of the United States government.” One renewable fuels tax credit. Cleaner fuels and cleaner water. Read more here: farmprogress.com/farm-policy…
