US Push For Higher Blends Of Ethanol
By Mr Ethanol | April 8, 2008
Stock and Land:
Several US Senators are pushing the US Environmental Protection Agency by requesting testing of ethanol blends above 10pc for non-flexible-fuel vehicles.
“It is becoming even more important as we see the maximum market demand for E10 blends quickly approaching,” says Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa.
“It is believed that the E10 market will be saturated by 2012 or 2013 at about 12-14 billion gallons a year.
“That’s about twice what we produce right now.
“So it’s critical that timely approvals be made for intermediate blends of ethanol-blended gasoline for non-flexible-fuel vehicles.”
The EPA has indicated it is seeking input and data from stakeholders.
The state of Minnesota, in conjunction with the Renewable Fuels Association, has released a year-long study measuring the effects of E20. More.
