The Biden administration said Tuesday it plans to help boost the production and sale of ethanol-blended gasoline to alleviate pain at the pump as inflation skyrockets.
President Joe Biden will announce that the Environmental Protection Agency expects to issue an emergency waiver that would suspend a summer ban on the use of a specific blended fuel, senior administration officials told reporters on a call.
Biden will make the announcement during a visit to a bioprocessing plant in Menlo, Iowa, a state that produces a significant part of the country’s ethanol.
