Rules On Storage Of Petrol-Ethanol Blends Relaxed
By Mr Ethanol | May 16, 2007
Scoop:
The Environmental Risk Management Authority has relaxed the rules for storing so-called E10 petrol-ethanol blends by removing the requirement that the fuel must always be stored in double-skinned underground tanks.
Previously, the rules prohibited storage in single-skinned underground tanks.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority asked ERMA New Zealand to reassess the storage rules as they effectively ruled out the environmentally-friendly E10 fuel being available at many service stations, which don’t have double-skinned tanks.
ERMA New Zealand accepts there are potential climate change benefits in making petrol-ethanol blends of 1 to 10% ethanol more widely available and that E10 is likely to become more widely available if the current restrictions on storage are relaxed.
