The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued the second round of grants available through the Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program. American Coalition For Ethanol’s Senior Vice President Ron Lamberty is pleased USDA is moving ahead with it.

He says by getting more infrastructure out for higher ethanol blends it should help increase consumer usage of E-15.

Lamberty says by providing more ethanol to consumers it fits in well with the incoming President’s focus on addressing climate change and improving the environment.

In making the second round announcement Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said that ethanol and biofuels industries have positive impacts they deliver to consumers and farmers with an affordable, abundant and clean burning fuel.
