Last week, President Biden told leaders of other countries that the United States would cut its greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, as the other leaders also made pledges at a virtual summit Biden organized.
Key biofuels groups endorsed the target and said they should be part of the solution.
Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor said, “Growth Energy applauds President Biden for setting an ambitious new decarbonization target for the United States as part of its commitment to the Paris Agreement.”
“We look forward to working with the Biden-Harris Administration to ensure low-carbon biofuels, like ethanol, are an integral part of efforts to address climate change, reduce transportation sector emissions, improve air quality, and create jobs in rural America.

ST. LOUIS â Hospital leaders and state officials are preparing to distribute COVID-19 vaccines in Missouri, and they expect that the first vaccinations are days away.
Department of Health and Senior Services Director Dr. Randall Williams told reporters on Friday that he believes the first COVID-19 vaccinations in Missouri will begin on Dec. 17. If the vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna both win emergency use authorization, the state expects to receive 340,000 total doses by the end of 2020, Williams said, and 2 million doses by the end of February.
