The National Corn Growers Association is welcoming the introduction of the Clean Fuels Deployment Act of 2020.
The legislation encourages the deployment of fueling infrastructure for ethanol blends greater than 10 percent and biodiesel blends greater than 20 percent.
The bill authorizes $500 million over five years to help retailers offer higher ethanol blends, expand the geographic area selling ethanol blends, support biodiesel fuel markets, and accelerate the deployment of fueling infrastructure.
Ethanol producers have idled nearly half of their production capacity due to the fallout from COVID-19.
