It is outrageous the EPA’s Science Advisory Board concluded in a draft report that there ‘are minimal or no climate benefits from substituting corn ethanol for gasoline or diesel.’
The lifecycle carbon intensity of today’s ethanol is almost 50 percent lower than gasoline’s carbon intensity.
Combustion emissions when ethanol is burned in the engine are near zero.
Biden’s strategy to phase out all liquid fuel sources will disproportionally hurt lower income and rural families and make the US significantly weaker and solely dependent on China as the source of rare earth minerals and metals and further put our environment in greater jeopardy.
The ethanol and corn industries on Thursday slammed an advisory board to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for a draft report that found there could be little climate benefit to using corn-starch ethanol as a fuel, compared with gasoline.
