January 18, 2022 — Michigan Agri-Business Association President Chuck Lippstreu today issued the following statement of support for Senate Bill 814, introduced by Senator Kevin Daley, which would expand the availability of clean-burning, renewable fuels in Michigan. “Expanding the use of clean, renewable ethanol in our state will be a win for Michigan families, Michigan’s environment and Michigan’s rural communities. We applaud Senator Kevin Daley for introducing this common-sense measure to support the broader use of clean-burning, higher ethanol blends that cut down on harmful pollution, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and benefit Michigan’s economy.” SB814 would create a five-cents-per-gallon tax credit for the sale of E-15 fuel and an 8.5-cent-per-gallon credit for the sale of E-85 fuel. Both of the credits would expire after five years unless renewed by the Legislature. # # #
