Growth Energy ad pushes for pro-biofuel policies

Growth Energy is calling on President Trump and the EPA for more pro-biofuel policies.  The renewable fuels trade association launched a television ad Friday calling on the administration to uphold promises to support biofuels.  The ad – to air on Fox News – asks the EPA to reverse refinery waivers that Growth Energy says have weakened the Renewable Fuel Standard and to lift restrictions on the sale of higher ethanol blends like E15.

Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor says taking such action could restore hundreds of millions of bushels of demand for biofuels feedstocks.  The new ad follows an EPA field hearing in Ypsilanti, Michigan held on the topic this week.
