EPA ISSUES EMERGENCY WAIVER FOR E15

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a national emergency waiver to allow E15 to be sold from June 1 to Sept 15 this year. “The EPA’s announcement of an emergency waiver allowing the sale of E15 this summer is the right decision for Minnesota’s consumers, the environment, and economy. Minnesota has been a leader in offering higher blends of ethanol like E15 because it saves drivers money, improves air quality, and reduces our dependence on fossil fuels. We especially thank Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Rep. Angie Craig, and all the bipartisan members of the Minnesota delegation who helped advocate with the administration to secure this critical result,” said Brian Werner, executive director of the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association.
