Summary

E-15 Rural Domestic Energy Council would be created to craft legislative solutions for a crisis affecting farmers and refiners tied to ethanol blending and fuel markets. The Council would investigate E-15 sales, U.S. refinery capacity, the Renewable Fuel Standard and Renewable Identification Numbers, access to markets, and federal regulations that hinder American energy dominance, then deliver recommendations to Congress by February 15, 2026.

  • Farmers would get a congressional-appointed forum focused on boosting ethanol demand and improving market access for E-15 and related fuels.
