For Second Year, EPA Misses Deadline On Ethanol Blending Requirements

Statewide Iowa — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has missed this week’s deadline to set new annual amounts of ethanol that small oil refineries must blend into gasoline.

The EPA hasn’t set new volume levels since 2020. Monte Shaw is executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association.

The EPA has proposed extending the ethanol blending deadlines for oil refineries. The agency has scheduled a virtual public hearing on the issue this Friday, December 3rd.
