RFA: Industry must fight for higher ethanol blends, tax-credit extension. The U.S. ethanol sector is healthy, but it has to hurdle difficult obstacles this year, including successfully petitioning to boost the ethanol blend limit to 15% and the Dec. 31 expiration of federal tax subsidies, according to Bob Dinneen, president of the Renewable Fuels Association. In the keynote address to open the National Ethanol Conference, Dinneen called on industry members to work harder to "tear down the blend wall" and to secure an extension of ethanol tax incentives.
