WASHINGTON — November 15, 2024 – The American Biogas Council (ABC) issued the following statement attributed to ABC Executive Director Patrick Serfass congratulating Sen. John Thune on his election as the next Senate Majority Leader:
“On behalf of the American Biogas Council and our members, we extend congratulations to Senator Thune on his election to be the next Senate Majority Leader. ABC looks forward to continuing to work with Senator Thune as he assumes his new role. It is exciting that the Majority Leader post will be held by someone who has long advocated on behalf of America’s biogas industry and the interests of stakeholders across rural America. Senator Thune recognizes that using waste to produce renewable natural gas for transportation fuel, reliable 24/7 power to the electric grid, and U.S.-made organically rich natural fertilizer, can be expanded to play an even larger role in strengthening energy independence.
“As Majority Leader, Senator Thune will no doubt continue to champion policies that promote the further development of the biogas industry. We look forward to working with Senator Thune and his colleagues in the Senate on policies to strengthen domestic energy independence, support farmers, and create jobs in both urban and rural areas.”
