The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-13/higher-ethanol-gasoline-wins-house-vote-in-boost-for-biofuels] Wednesday to allow year-round sales of higher-ethanol E15 gasoline across the U.S., in a victory for corn farmers after more than a decade of failed attempts to expand the market for E15.

The legislation still needs approval in the Senate, where its prospects are uncertain, and then support from the president.

E15—gasoline made with 15% corn-based ethanol—could provide a meaningful boost to farm profits at a time when growers are dealing with record crops and rising costs of inputs such as fertilizer.

"At a time of extreme market volatility and higher costs, this bill provides badly needed certainty for fuel retailers, oil refiners, ethanol producers, and consumers alike," Renewable Fuels Association President Geoff Cooper said.
