Governor Walz hopes to sign E15 Standard into law by end of 2022 Minnesota Legislative Session

Jan 20, 2022 3:50pm

Governor Tim Walz is looking forward to renewing efforts to bring an E15 ethanol standard to Minnesota.
Speaking to Brownfield during the MN Ag Expo in Mankato Wednesday, Walz says expanding the use of biofuels is important to him.

Jan 20, 2022 3:47pm

Some Midwestern producers say the whole story isn’t being told about electric vehicles.
Jan Tenbensil, a farmer from Southwest Nebraska, tells Brownfield many people believe electric vehicles are carbon neutral, but they’re not. “Just because a vehicle doesn’t have tail pipe emissions, we have to look at the entire lifecycle of the power source,” he says. “Be it coal, natural gas, solar or wind – all sources of electric have a carbon intensity that we have to measure.”
East Central farmer Rick Gruber says ethanol-blended fuel is more environmentally friendly because it has a lower carbon intensity score than EVs and ethanol benefits agriculture. “It really helps our bottom line.
