Missouri Governor Mike Parson has taken another step toward year-round E15 availability in the Show Me state.
In a letter to EPA administrator Michael Regan, Parson says he will exercise authority granted to state governors under the Clean Air Act to allow Missouri retailers to sell E-15 all year. Nine other midwestern governors exercised the same right earlier this year.
Parson thanked Regan for the emergency waiver allowing E-15 sales during the 2022 ozone control season, but says relying on emergency waivers is not a long-term solution for fuel retailers, farmers, ethanol producers, consumers or the environment.
