EPA Official Mentions E15 Outlook, Cautions Patience
In case you missed it, the excellent 25x'25 Summit happening this week at the Marriott Gateway in Arlington, Va. saw EPA official Gina McCarthy open the second day of the summit with remarks on Growth Energy's Green Jobs Waiver saying she is “very confident” about decisions that could lead to E15 ethanol blends on the market, including one late September for 2007 models and newer, and another in late November for 2001 models and newer.
Gina McCarthy, EPA Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation said that while the “outlook is positive” about EPA approval of the higher blend, the EPA official conceded that additional federal and state labeling rules, fuel certification, storage rules and distribution testing will likely push the actual introduction of E15 at least well into next year.
