A Washington D.C. appeals court has reversed EPA’s 2019 rule that allowed for year-round sales of E15.
Prior to the agency’s final rule to extend the Reid Vapor Pressure volatility waiver to fuel blended with 15 percent ethanol, E15 sales were prohibited from June to September. Oil refiners challenged the rulemaking.
The Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy, and National Corn Growers in a joint statement disagreed with the court’s decision, saying it could deprive American drivers of lower carbon options at the pump.
