EPA Again Delays Decision on Fuel-Ethanol Blend Rate Increase

SUGAR LAND, TX -- Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- The United States Environmental Protection Agency has announced that it will delay a decision on increasing the fuel-ethanol blend rate until the fall of 2010.

Currently, ethanol can be blended to a maximum of only 10% with petroleum gasoline for consumers. Producers would like to increase this rate to 15%, which would obviously increase the demand for the renewable fuel.
