Economic impact of ethanol production and the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bobby Likis, automotive expert and host of nationally syndicated car-talk program “Bobby Likis Car Clinic,” shares the mic with Mick Henderson, Chairman of the Board, Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), and General Manager, Commonwealth Agri-Energy, on Saturday, November 5, at 10:41a ET.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2015, about 140.43 billion gallons of fuel were pumped in the U.S. Ethanol – with its clear engine performance, economic and environmental advantages - constituted a little less than 10% of that number. As the 2017 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) rule nears end of interagency review on November 30, Likis invites Henderson on the Car Clinic globalcast to help educate his listening and viewing audiences about the RFS, which insures that renewable fuels, like ethanol, will continue to enrich the U.S. fuel mix.

Reflects Henderson, “As a 35-year veteran of the ethanol industry, I have seen the benefits we have provided to consumers in our communities and around the world, providing the lowest-cost, highest octane source on the planet.” He adds, “I look forward to talking with Bobby and relaying how my ethanol plant and our industry as a whole has contributed to cleaner air, greater energy security and a boost to our local economies.”

Says Likis, “Tune in to hear Mick net out the role that ethanol production plays in local, regional and national economics, not to mention national security.” He expands, “Also, top of mind is the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and why it’s critical to the environment, economy, and security of the U.S.”
