WASHINGTON, D.C. – AFPM released the following statement today in response to media reports that the White House has instructed EPA to deny retroactive waivers to small refineries seeking hardship relief.

Ethanol is a valuable source of octane in fuel, but there is a limit to how much our gasoline can take. Today, there simply isn’t the fuel demand, infrastructure or consumer appetite to absorb an arbitrary 15-billion gallons of ethanol.

In the early hours of August 27, Hurricane Laura came ashore as one of the most powerful storms to hit the United States.

Congress designed the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) with an explicit directive for EPA to maintain relief lifelines for small refineries.

"Smaller” biofuel mandates due to compliance waivers have not reduced the volume of ethanol consumed in the United States — a fact government data affirms. Here’s why.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - AFPM issued the following statement about the ‘gap year’ applications that have been submitted by small refineries in order to make the case that RFS obligations in previous years have been a source of disproportionate economic harm.

As with many other challenges brought by COVID-19, fuel and petrochemical manufacturers are stepping in to help support schools and students during this difficult time.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – AFPM released the following statement following the Senate’s bipartisan passage of the PIPES Act (S. 2299).
