“At POET, we strive to live like it’s Earth Day every day. We want to leave behind a better world.

“Boosting the nation’s available fuel supply with E15 is better for consumers, the environment, and the economy.” –Joshua Shields, POET Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs POET applauds President Joe Biden and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan for extending summer access to E15. This announcement mirrors one made by the president at POET Bioprocessing – Menlo in 2022, and the administration's decision will once again keep E15 flowing when Americans need it most.
"As we move into a future with vehicle options to suit everyone’s taste, bioethanol is still the superior option for performance, sustainability, and longevity. Food for thought." –Russ Evans, Under the Hood Radio Show Host and Mechanic Read more from the Motor Medics in the latest issue of Vital!
Last summer, President Biden issued an E15 emergency waiver to save consumers money at the pump amid record-high gas prices. As a result, E15 saved drivers an average of 16 cents and up to a dollar per gallon at the pump in some areas. That's a meaningful difference – and this summer should be no different. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must act swiftly to ensure uninterrupted access to lower-carbon E15 and the cost savings it provides consumers.
