RFA chief: EPA's delay on decision for proposed E15 rule is frustrating

The Environmental Protection Agency's announcement that it needs more time to study E15's potential effects on catalytic converters is frustrating, said Bob Dinneen, president and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association. Speaking at a farm convention in Missouri, Dinneen noted that there are no issues related to drivability and materials compatibility based on available data, and he recommended that the EPA allow E12 while it extends the review period for the E15 proposal. An E12 blend would broaden the ethanol market by 20% and not violate the agency's fuel-blending rules and tolerances, he added. Wallaces Farmer (11/13)
