The Environmental Protection Agency has designated grain sorghum as an advanced biofuel. Growth Energy’s Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Chris Bliley says the designation is great for ethanol producers who use grain sorghum as a feed stock because it opens up a valuable additional market for one of their most important co-products.
He says making grain sorghum an advanced biofuel is positive for producers who are poised to provide more homegrown fuels across the country.
Bliley says to get the designation, grain sorghum proponents had to meet strict criteria in regards to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Bliley hopes this move by EPA will lead to more advanced biofuels becoming available for consumers.
