Fuel Choice Expansion: Year-Round E15 Sales and Biofuel Credit Return.

This Act modifies the Clean Air Act to allow the year-round sale of gasoline blends containing 10% to 15% ethanol (E15), including during the high ozone season. For consumers, this means potentially greater fuel choice at the pump and wider availability of E15, which could impact personal fueling costs. Additionally, the law returns retired biofuel credits to small refineries, affecting the renewable fuel market dynamics.
Key points
E15 fuel (gasoline with 10-15% ethanol) can be sold year-round, including during the summer (high ozone season), increasing fuel availability.
Changes to Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) requirements for ethanol blends, simplifying their distribution and sale.
Small refineries will recover previously retired biofuel credits (RINs) from 2016–2018, which they can use for future compliance, impacting their operating costs.
