SACRAMENTO, Calif. (RFD-TV) — California has officially approved the sale of E15 after Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 30 into law on Thursday, making it the final state in the nation to greenlight the 15-percent ethanol blend for drivers.
Ron Lamberty, Chief Marketing Officer for the American Coalition for Ethanol, joined us on Friday’s Market Day Report to discuss what this milestone means for the U.S. fuel market.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Lamberty explained the significance of California’s approval, noting how it opens up the country’s largest gasoline market to a cleaner-burning, often lower-cost fuel option. He also highlighted the benefits for consumers, including potential cost savings at the pump and the environmental advantages of using higher-ethanol blends .
Lamberty also shared details about the organization’s recently launched E15 Cost Calculator, a tool designed to help fuel retailers nationwide analyze the potential savings and profitability of offering E15.
Finally, he discussed his outlook for the U.S. fuel market moving forward, stating that California’s move could spark broader adoption of higher-ethanol blends and increase market confidence nationwide.
