Bipartisan senators introduce Flex Fuel Fairness Act to support liquid biofuels

August 1, 2023 |

In Washington, last week, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) introduced the Flex Fuel Fairness Act with Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) to level the playing field for vehicles running on low-carbon liquid fuels like ethanol.

The bill would provide a meaningful incentive for automakers to manufacture flex fuel vehicles (FFVs) in addition to battery electric vehicles (EVs). Currently, the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has prioritized regulations that favor dramatically increasing production of EVs and forcing them on consumers. The Flex Fuel Fairness Act would equally encourage the production of FFVs, offer more options to consumers, and unlock increased use of lower-carbon liquid fuel blends containing higher levels of ethanol, like E85 and E30.
