California Governor Gavin Newsom directed the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to accelerate the E15 approval process in the state. California is the only state yet to approve the sale of E15 (15% ethanol blends). Iowa Renewable Fuels Association (IRFA) Executive Director Monte Shaw made the following statement:
“E15 will reduce California fuel prices by 20 cents a gallon. It will reduce carbon emissions. It will reduce smog-forming emissions. And approving E15 will create new demand for up to 500 million gallons of ethanol. Heck, approving E15 in California is better than a grand slam for the Dodgers in the World Series. IRFA members applaud Governor Newsom for stepping up to the plate and telling the bureaucrats to get the E15 approval process moving.”
