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?



This is the first sentence from your first link:

Summary

 

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requires U.S. transportation fuel to include a minimum volume of renewable fuel each year. The RFS—established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct05; P.L. 109-58) and expanded in 2007 by the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA; P.L. 110-140)—began with requiring 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel in 2006 and gradually increasing that requirement until it reached 36 billion gallons in 2022.
