Legislation was filed recently to make E15 available all year long, coast to coast.
The National Corn Growers Association says they are optimistic this time around.
“Over 98% of all gasoline in the United States has 10% ethanol in it right now. So everybody’s using it. We’re asking to go up to 15% year round. Instead of this hodgepodge that we’ve had of summertime waivers, of being able to use E15 during the summer, we have E15 during the winter, but we don’t have it year round,” said Troy Schneider.
Schneider says the ethanol industry puts in around 15 billion gallons of fuel to the U.S. each year. He says year-round E15 sales would come to an additional 2.3 billion gallons every year.
