EPA Allows Expanded E15 Access in Eight Midwest States

The Environmental Protection Agency says it will uphold the current April 28, 2025 implementation date for year-round use of E15 and E10 in eight states. The action provides certainty for fuel suppliers and expands consumer access to year-round E15 in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says this underscores EPA’s commitment to consumer access to E15 while ensuring a smooth transition for fuel suppliers and refiners. The approach provides certainty for states that are ready to move forward with year-round E15, while also accommodating those states that requested additional time. The EPA intends to consider granting requests for a one-year delay for those states seeking additional time for compliance. Any state requesting a one-year delay must notify the EPA in writing no later than this Wednesday, February 26. Congress is negotiating a plan to allow for the permanent, year-round sale of E15 nationwide.
