Sen. Grassley receives awards for biofuels leadership
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, a lifelong family farmer and member of the Senate agriculture committee, received two awards for his biofuels leadership from two different trade associations in September.
Grassley accepted Growth Energy’s 2026 “Fueling Growth Award” for his leadership on biofuels and his ongoing support for America’s family farmers and biofuel producers.
“As a lifelong Iowa corn and soybean farmer, I know firsthand how important our homegrown biofuels are for our national security, our pocketbooks and our environment,” Grassley said. “Biofuels are good, good, good. That’s why I’m continuing to fight tirelessly to get year-round, nationwide E15 over the finish line. I’m proud to be a strong voice for Iowa biofuels at the policymaking tables in Washington.”
Grassley helped establish the Renewable Fuel Standard in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and conducts oversight to ensure the executive branch appropriately implements the program.
Grassley also met with the National Oilseed Processors Association in September to discuss the RFS.
The group presented Grassley with an award recognizing him as a Champion of Agriculture.
Grassley has championed E15 in the Senate for over 15 years.
