While there is a push toward electric vehicles, Growth Energy Senior Vice President Chris Bliley said the corn ethanol business is still needed. “We are going to burn a trillion gallons of liquid fuels this decade, we’ll burn another trillion gallons of fuel next decade and another trillion gallons of fuel the following decade,” said Bliley. “Regardless of how aggressive your electrification goals may be, you’ll need a solution to help decarbonize those legacy vehicles, the vehicles on the road today and the vehicles that are going to get built over the next two or three decades that continue to use liquid fuels.” At the USDA Ag Outlook Forum, Bliley said the national adoption of E15 would be the equivalent of taking 4 million vehicles off the road every year.
