Iowa Renewable Fuels Association

This week is #IowaAgWeek! Iowa is the leading producer of corn, pigs, eggs, and ethanol, with the agriculture industry employing nearly 1 in 5 Iowans.🌽🐷🚜

Biodiesel can be used in existing diesel equipment to provide immediate carbon reductions and cleaner air for our communities. Given its higher lubricity, #biodiesel is safer to transport and easier on your engine’s daily wear and tear, making it the most cost-effective option for reducing emissions now.

So it's okay to use Russian oil again, but Congress won't approve nationwide, year-round #E15? This is nuts!!!

Today, we celebrate the powerful impact of homegrown #biodiesel that fuels America’s farms, fleets and future. Made from a diverse mix of resources including soybean oil produced by U.S. farmers, biodiesel is essential for our nation's energy security and returns real, measurable benefits to our communities, including: 🌳 70% Lower GHG Emissions 📈 $42.4B Economic Impact ⛽ 4% Lower Prices at the Pump ⚕ $9.6B Health Cost Savings Find out more about the benefits of biodiesel at cleanfuels.org. #NationalBiodieselDay #BetterCleanerNow

Biodiesel was the first fuel commercially produced nationwide that meets the EPA's definition of an advanced biofuel, and 20% blends can be used in any diesel engine! Learn more fun facts about biodiesel: iowarfa.org/biodiesel-cent…

"Due to the farmer productivity spurred by ethanol demand, we produce more corn per acre, and thus more protein than ever before. Ethanol has essentially increased world protein supplies," writes Executive Director Monte Shaw: desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/…

. @SenJoniErnst highlighted the importance of year-round E15 for national energy security at the Senate Agriculture Committee hearing yesterday. Ernst also touched on her legislation to recognize compatible equipment for E15, allowing retailers to affordably offer E15 at the pump. IRFA thanks Senator Ernst for her support! c-span.org/clip/senate-co…

. @ChuckGrassley emphasized the need for year-round E15 at the Senate Agriculture Committee hearing yesterday, saying "We got to get it done." IRFA thanks Senator Grassley for his support! c-span.org/clip/senate-co…

IRFA's Monte Shaw was able to sit down with @RepAshleyHinson prior to her Urbandale public meeting to talk #E15 and how to get it thru Congress. We appreciate her strong support!

Knocking down regulatory barriers and allowing E15 throughout the summer will lower fuel costs for Americans and strengthen the market’s resilience against global supply disruptions. ethanolrfa.org/media-and-news…

While Iowa remains the leading producer of ethanol in the U.S., many states such as Nebraska, Illinois, and Indiana are seeing production growth while Iowa remains stagnant. Why? The ability to capture and sequester carbon: iowarfa.org/2026/01/iowa-e…

Iowa Corn & Ethanol Leaders to Dept. of @ENERGY: E15 is the Answer to High Gas Prices As @SecretaryWright prepares for a meeting to discuss high gas prices, there is a “no-brainer” for immediate relief: nationwide, year-round access to E15. Read more ⬇️ tinyurl.com/jzppzn5f

We need year-round E15 now more than ever. Year-round E15 increases domestic fuel supply with no cost to taxpayers. #E15 #unleaded88
