(Montgomery, Ala) – Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall urged Congress to pass a bipartisan bill that will unleash homegrown American energy by securing nationwide access to year-round E15 gasoline. On day one in office, President Trump signed an executive order expanding access to E15 gasoline and making clear that E15 is key in unlocking America’s energy-independent future. He also created the National Energy Dominance Council, which has called to use national assets like biofuels.
Only eight states currently have permanent access to year-round E15. This discrepancy creates challenges for farmers and ethanol producers who must manufacture two different products—one for states with year-round E15 and one for states without. The States are calling for Congress to follow in President Trump’s footsteps and support a permanent, legislative fix that will grant all states equal access to year-round E15.
“Ensuring nationwide access to year-round E15 gasoline is a critical step toward strengthening America’s energy independence. President Trump’s leadership made clear that biofuels play a key role in securing our energy future, and it’s time for Congress to act. By passing this legislation, we can provide stability for producers, expand consumer choice, and unleash the full potential of American energy,” Attorney General Steve Marshall said.
The States urge Congress to swiftly pass the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025 that promises nationwide access to year-round E15.
Alabama joined the Iowa-led letter, along with Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia.
