THE REPORT ALSO FOUND A RECORD 516 MILLION GALLONS OF BIODIESEL BLENDS WERE SOLD LAST YEAR.
E-15 AND HIGHER BLENDS ACCOUNTED FOR NEARLY 20 PERCENT OF IOWA GASOLINE SALES IN 2024.
AT THE END OF 2024, MORE THAN ONE IN THREE IOWA FUEL STATIONS OFFERED E-15.
THE REPORT ALSO SHOWED A RECORD 516 MILLION GALLONS OF BIODIESEL BLENDS WERE SOLD IN 2024, DRIVEN BY RECORD SALES OF B-20 AND HIGHER BLENDS THAT HIT 245 MILLION GALLONS.
IOWA RENEWABLE FUELS ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MONTE SHAW SAYS THAT SHOWS WHEN CONSUMERS HAVE INCREASED ACCESS TO E-15, THEY CHOOSE THE CLEANER BURNING FUEL THAT SAVES THEM 15 TO 20 CENTS PER GALLON.
SHAW SAYS FARMERS ARE ALSO BENEFITING FROM INCREASING CORN DEMAND THAT STIMULATES LOCAL ECONOMIES.
