Regional disputes over year-round sales of 15% ethanol (E15) are intensifying after the midterm elections. Lawmakers are working to finalize farm bill language that would authorize E15 in summer months, when it is currently barred absent an emergency EPA waiver.
Separate fights continue over renewable fuel standard compliance waiver requests from small refiners and Southeastern states.
Authorizing summer E15 would support ethanol blending and corn demand, while broader RFS waivers would reduce biofuel demand for corn and vegetable oils. The net outcome will influence corn and soybean oil price expectations.
