After a rough 2020 for farmers and biofuel producers, Growth Energy is reporting good news about the growing demand for E15.
Emily Skor is the CEO of Growth Energy, and she says the biofuel sector is hitting the ground running in 2021.
“
The retail market has hit a major new milestone: 20 billion miles driven on E15. And this is a testament to the continued success of E15 at the pump. This past year, even as the nation grappled with a pandemic and drivers stayed home and stayed parked under stay-at-home orders in most states throughout the nation, the number of retail sites offering E15 actually grew by 10 percent, bringing the fuel to more than 2,300 stations across 30 states. And major retailers like Casey’s, Thorntons, Kwik Trip, and Family Express have all embraced the opportunity to offer an increasingly popular option that lends a competitive edge to any location. Most importantly, American drivers are showing they will keep coming back for a fuel that not only holds down costs but also protects our air and our climate.”
