More tests are underway to potentially expand E15 ethanol use in California. Tom Gillis is on the Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board and the National Corn Growers Ethanol Action Group. He says, “As we speak, there is a test going on in California, and it’s run through the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and they are actually checking emissions tests to move to an E15-based biofuels additive and we’re checking cars that go back as much as ten-plus years old.”
Gillis says the tests will help California develop E15 emissions standards, which can bring ethanol consumption up in that state, and eventually elsewhere.
