ADM Requests EPA Approve Ethanol Blends Up To 12 Percent For All Cars
08.06.2010 11:27 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
On June 7, Archer Daniels Midland Company submitted a formal request to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency seeking approval of ethanol-gasoline blends containing up to 12 percent ethanol (E12) for all cars. We also formally requested that the EPA alter its Clean Air Act interpretive rule to allow for the higher oxygen content in E12.
We commend the EPA for its thorough consideration of the E15 waiver request. ADM continues to support full implementation of the E15 waiver request, but believes that limiting E15 to model year 2001 and newer cars will not meet the goals of the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) or the President’s goal of tripling biofuels production over the next twelve years.
We believe immediate interim approval and implementation of E12 for all cars provides a sound path to advance our nation’s renewable energy goals.
