The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency intends to finalize a rule before next summer to allow the year-round sale of gasoline blended with a higher level of ethanol in several states, EPA Administrator Michael Regan said on Tuesday.
The EPA has engaged with several Midwestern governors after they asked the agency earlier this year to allow year-round sales of the blend, known as E15, Regan said during remarks at the Growth Energy Biofuels Summit. The move would be a win for the ethanol industry, which wants E15 to be sold year-round to expand sales for corn-based ethanol.
Regan added that beyond E15, the agency is coordinating with the Department of Agriculture and Department of Energy on biofuel blending requirements past 2022.
