Following Hinson’s Advocacy, Trump Administration Grants Summer E15 Waiver
Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-02) released the below statement following the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s emergency waiver to allow the uninterrupted sale of E15 this summer nationwide.
"I want to extend a huge thank you to the Trump Administration for following through on its commitments to Iowa farmers & biofuels producers by allowing the sale of E15 this summer nationwide.
"I recently led a letter urging the administration to ensure E15 could be sold across the country this summer, and I'm thrilled to see them take this crucial step. I will continue working with the administration to expand the use of biofuels to achieve American energy dominance and get a permanent solution across the finish line for the benefit of producers and consumers alike." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
Background:
In Congress, Rep. Hinson has been a leading advocate for expanded access to higher blends of ethanol, including E15. EPA’s announcement follows a letter led by Representatives Hinson, Adrian Smith, Angie Craig, and Mark Pocan urging the president to permit the nationwide sale of E15 during the 2025 summer driving season. This Congress, Rep. Hinson has also joined several efforts to promote the use of biofuels and pursue American energy dominance, including:
- Sending a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin urging support for the Renewable Fuel Standard and the elimination of regulatory barriers to the growth of the American biofuels industry.
- Helping introduce the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act to make E15 available year-round, nationwide.
