Renewable Fuels Support: Grants and Simplification for Gas Stations

This act aims to increase the availability of renewable fuels like ethanol and biodiesel through grant programs for gas stations and terminals. Citizens can expect more stations offering these fuels, which may influence fuel choices and potentially prices. Additionally, some labels on E15 fuel dispensers will be removed, simplifying refueling.
Key points
Grant Program: The government will financially support gas stations and other entities in installing infrastructure for distributing renewable fuels (e.g., E15, E85, biodiesel).
Increased Biofuel Availability: Thanks to grants, more gas stations will be able to offer fuels with higher ethanol and biodiesel content, increasing choices for drivers.
Label Simplification: Mandatory labels on E15 fuel dispensers will be removed, aiming to make them easier to use.
Infrastructure Support: Funds will also be allocated for modernizing fuel terminals and home heating oil distribution centers to handle biofuels.
