Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig announced that the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program Board recently approved an additional 90 applications from Iowa fuel retailers to support new and expanded ethanol infrastructure projects.
The California Assembly on June 4 voted 77 to zero in favor of a bill that aims to immediately authorize the use of E15 within California until state agencies complete the required evaluation process for the fuel blend and issue a decision.
During its last scheduled meeting during fiscal year 2025, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program on June 4 awarded more than $1 million in cost-share grants to support the installation of E15 at 91 additional retail fuel sites across Iowa.
American drivers could collectively save more than $110 million this Memorial Day weekend if they filled up with E15—a more affordable fuel option made with 15% ethanol—instead of ordinary fuel, according to Growth Energy.
U.S. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on May 14 confirmed the agency will “over the next few months” be completing a rulemaking process to set new Renewable Fuel Standard renewable volume obligations (RVOs).
