IN555 - 4/9/2026 07:53 Again, there is not a cap on how much ethanol can be sold.
https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R43325 "Beginning in 2015, the statutory renewable fuel volume tables implicitly capped the conventional biofuel volume amounts while increasing the requirement for advanced biofuel." https://afdc.energy.gov/laws/RFS.html website for the chart. So anyways as I was saying, look up the RFS and start browsing websites ending in .gov. It is why I said E15, E20, E100 would dot the corn farmer no good, the government has a cap on regular ethanol, they want diversified production from Biomass.


The RFS is a minimum volume, not a cap. Oil companies twist the minimum volume requirements into a "make believe" cap.
Also, the cellulosic part never materialized. Harvesting and processing corn stalks did not work out.  



Did you actually read the links or not?
