Renewable fuel leaders are calling on EPA to relax E15 regulations as the eastern seaboard struggles with a fuel shortage caused by the Colonial Pipeline closure.
“Our message is simple; Just let us help with this situation, let the ethanol industry help fill this void.”
RFA CEO Geoff Cooper tells Brownfield they have around 300 billion gallons of production capacity sitting idle that could quickly be used for higher blended fuels and he says many stations that carry E10 are already E15 compatible if they can temporarily skip “unnecessary hoops” in paperwork, pump labels and surveys.
