By leaving #corn and #ethanol off the list of products subject to a 25% tariff, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arguably did more for the US #biofuels industry today than former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt did during his 500+ day tenure (2017-2018). #history

Below is the Fact Sheet released by the White House today that discusses trade partners that do not give the U.S. reciprocal treatment on tariffs. Unbalanced tariffs on U.S. #ethanol and #ag goods are mentioned on the first page.

You see an #ethanol spill. I see a mandatory #RIN retirement under § 80.1434(a). When I retire, will life return to normal?

@jaxbeachmarsh The label is accurate. If you are certain that you have a flex fuel vehicle, you can fill up with E85.

It has been 110 days since California Gov. Newsom issued a directive to #CARB to speed up efforts to approve #E15 sales in the state. Has anyone seen or heard of any progress? #ethanol

Though federal budget proposals may be floating around today, anything we hear about the #45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit and any other #biofuel credits is merely preliminary and subject to change. The House Budget Committee has a hearing set for tomorrow morning (2/13) at 10AM.

Big relief for Calumet as the DOE approved the disbursement of a loan guarantee to the Montana Renewables #SAF refinery in Great Falls. Its capacity will be expanded from 140 million gallons per year currently to around 315 MMGY.

🚨Tomorrow is shaping out to be a huge day for the #biofuels industry. Battle lines are being drawn. Politicians in districts that are home to an #ethanol, #biodiesel, RD or #SAF plant risk being tarred & feathered if they don't resist efforts to rescind IRA tax credits. #45Z

@jcampfarms @SusanNOBULL It’s a shame that no one in his office had the strength to stop this from happening. Imagine defending this dopey idea when running for re-election.

Indiana is NOT one of the states that petitioned the EPA for year-round sales of #E15. (2/2)

@heartlandinves1 Fuel ethanol imports were negligible last year. Putting an reciprocal tariff on imported Brazilian ethanol will have no impact on U.S. gasoline prices.

@cfarms76 Mostly likely 1979.

@millenboy @DOGE The $0.45/gal ethanol blending credit expired on December 31, 2011.

Several years ago, Bud Lite ambushed the #corn industry by disparaging corn syrup during a Super Bowl commercial. Today, expect to see NCGA praise #corn during the big game, including a brief plug for corn-based #ethanol.

The King of Crude sees a growth in #biofuel demand in 2025.

Trump's mention of #ethanol yesterday was the first I've heard him talk about it this year. Key quotes from 2024: - I'll protect ethanol for 4 more years - I issued a rule making #E15 available year round - I'll cancel Biden's ethanol-killing EV mandate

@Lwolf79 Yes, that’s obvious, but we cannot shut down export opportunities now based on potential trade wars in the future.

@Lwolf79 The U.S. shouldn’t stop pursuing export opportunities just because of potential trade wars in the future. We are talking here about exports to Japan. Trump is not threatening export tariffs on U.S. goods. Nor is Japan threatening new import tariffs on U.S. goods.
