The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is aiming to put more ethanol in gasoline even as it reduced the consumption target established in a 2007 energy law, an EPA official said.
On May 29, the EPA proposed requiring the use of 13.4 billion gallons of corn-based ethanol this year and 14 billion in 2016, down from 15 billion in both years established in 2007. EPA said it will finalize the targets by Nov. 30.
