The long-awaited Next Generation Fuels act was introduced to the US House Thursday by Congresswoman Cheri Bustos of Illinois.
The bill establishes a minimum octane standard for gasoline and requires sources of the added octane value to reduce carbon emissions by at least 30% compared to baseline gasoline.
Many ag and environmental groups support the bill as a roadmap to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect human health and increase engine efficiency while also encouraging the use of biofuels and lower prices at the pump.
