Biden Admin to Release Gasoline From Strategic Fuel Reserve

By Ben Lefebvre

As the summer driving season nears, the Energy Department said it was making the move now “to maximize its impact on gasoline prices.”

The Biden administration announced Tuesday it would release 42 million gallons of gasoline from the strategic fuel reserve into the Northeast markets to help cool off retail fuel prices.

Congress had ordered the sale from the National Gasoline Supply Reserve as part of the 2024 budget law, 118-42, requiring the Energy Department to close down the reserve after selling its inventory. DOE said it will accept bids for the fuel through May 28, with the revenue going to the Treasury. The fuel is to be delivered from the reserve sites in New Jersey and Maine no later than June 30.

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
