The Environmental Protection Agency will post its proposed rule in response to a petition by eight Midwestern governors seeking year-round E15.
During the opening session of the 2023 National Ethanol Conference in Orlando Wednesday morning, EPA deputy director Ben Hengst announced the agency would be posting its proposal within a few hours.
“Removing the waiver would allow E15 and E10 to be made using the same gasoline blend stock, and once final the rule will help expand availability year-round of E15 in multiple jurisdictions.”
But with an effective date of April 2024, the proposed rule would not allow for E15 sales this summer.
