Ethanol Company Chief Calls on Congress to Pass E15 Fuel Legislation

The chief executive of biofuel company POET is expressing frustration over continued delays in advancing nationwide E15 ethanol legislation through Congress. Jeff Broin, who founded and leads the company, shared his disappointment with the ongoing obstacles preventing year-round E15 availability across the country.

“We have been working on that for literally over a decade,” Broin said in an interview with Brownfield. “I cannot believe what it’s taken.”

According to Broin, pushing federal E15 policy through to President Trump’s desk represents a vital step for America’s rural communities. The legislation would allow the higher ethanol blend to be sold throughout the entire year nationwide, rather than facing seasonal restrictions.
