Washington, D.C. -  Rep. Ashley Hinson (IA-02) released the following statement on the EPA's final rule setting biofuel blending levels under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2023-2025.  

"The Biden Administration continues to ignore the clear benefits of Iowa biofuels to our all-of-the-above energy strategy, delivering yet another gut punch to our hardworking farmers and producers with this rule. This final rule will derail significant progress made by the advanced biofuels industry, negatively impact farmers and rural communities, and diminish our already weakened energy security -- it's a gigantic and unnecessary leap backwards. I will continue advocating for the expanded use of renewable fuels and fight for our Iowa producers in Washington." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson

In April, Congresswoman Hinson led 35 of her colleagues in a letter to EPA Administrator Regan expressing concern over the EPA's proposed RVOs for advanced biofuels, and urging him to increase blending targets for advanced biofuels like biomass-based diesel.
