Ethanol industry pleased with EPA decision

Source : domesticfuel.com

Ethanol industry groups are pleased that the Environmental Protection Agency has decided that blends of 15% ethanol are safe for use in all cars and pickups built in 2001 and later. Growth Energy filed the original waiver back in 2009 to raise the regulatory cap on the ethanol blend from 10 percent to 15 percent to create more jobs and increase the nation's energy security. "This is a bold move forward, changing America's energy future for the better", said Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy. "Increased use of ethanol will strengthen our energy security, create U.S. jobs, and improve the environment by displacing conventional gasoline with a low-carbon fuel." According to the organization, which is holding a press conference on the announcement, a full move to E15 creates a bigger market for American ethanol that could help create as many as 136'000 new jobs in the United States and eliminate as much as 8 million metric tons of GHG emissions from the air in a year - the equivalent of taking 1.35 million vehicles off the road.
