Strait to the Point: The Impact of the Strait of Hormuz Crisis on the Bio-Economy

by Oliver Booth (Biofuels Digest) ... The Strait of Hormuz crisis is actively rewriting the playbook for the global bio-economy, serving as the strongest argument for domestically produced clean fuels since the 1973 Arab oil embargo. What was previously framed largely as a climate and decarbonization initiative has overnight morphed into an urgent national security mandate. Every barrel of biofuel or renewable diesel produced from domestic feedstocks is a barrel that does not need to transit a chokepoint. In a political context where “energy dominance” is the framing of choice, clean fuels now fit the narrative perfectly.

The Erasure of the Green Premium

In the short term, the surge in crude oil prices is rapidly narrowing the traditional “green premium”—the cost gap between fossil fuels and clean alternatives. 

At $90–100/bbl Brent, conventional diesel translates to roughly $3.50–4.50/gal. By comparison, renewable diesel typically costs between 4.50 and $5.00/gal to produce. When producers stack existing policy incentives—such as federal RFS D4 RINs (valued at $\sim$ $0.70/gal$), California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits ($\sim 0.35–0.50/gal), and the forthcoming 45Z tax credit—incentive-adjusted renewable diesel can close 1.50–2.00+/gal of that gap.

At these prices, renewable diesel approaches parity in California and Brazil, where imported diesel prices have actually surpassed contracts for biodiesel. Similarly, the historically steep multiple for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which typically trades at 2–3x Jet A, becomes far less extreme when jet fuel prices are themselves surging. If these levels hold for more than a few weeks, expect real capital to move into domestic projects.

The UCO Bottleneck and Europe’s Vulnerability

Despite these tailwinds, not all clean fuel pathways are insulated from the shipping crisis. Producers heavily dependent on imported Used Cooking Oil (UCO) for SAF and renewable diesel are the immediate losers of this disruption. Europe is exceptionally exposed to this vulnerability, importing more than 80% of its UCO, most of which moves by sea.

...

The rerouting of vessels around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the conflict zone adds approximately 3,500 nautical miles and 10 to 14 days to transit times, layering massive freight and insurance costs on top of a market that is already structurally tightening.

...

The EU’s ReFuelEU Aviation mandate (requiring 2% SAF from 2025, rising to 6% by 2030) does not change, but compliance becomes dramatically more expensive.

...

The ethanol-to-SAF, or Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ), pathway is receiving a massive strategic tailwind as UCO-based feedstock costs spike.

...

 Furthermore, US gasoline at 3.58/gal improves the economics for E15 and E85 blending, with groups like the Renewable Fuels Association already calling for year-round E15 in response to the crisis.

Capital Flight and the Stalling of Gulf Megaprojects

The crisis is also redrawing the map for the future of the hydrogen and ammonia sectors. Before the closure, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman were positioning themselves as the anchor producers for the emerging green hydrogen and ammonia export economy. These Gulf-anchored projects were intended to bring large-scale capacity online to serve as future marine fuels and industrial exports.

That momentum has been instantly checked. Drone strikes have already hit Oman’s ports at Duqm and Salalah, and Sohar now falls within the expanded war-risk insurance zone.

...

A Structural Shift for the Future

The maritime shipping industry—the sector most physically impacted by the Strait’s closure—is currently forced to push its decarbonization goals aside. The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Net-Zero Framework was already stalled before the crisis. Now, with the industry managing reroutes, absorbing insurance costs, and dealing with stranded vessels, the political appetite for a global carbon tax on shipping is near zero. In a prolonged scenario, the framework may be considered “dead this cycle”.

Yet, the crisis makes the strategic case for alternative marine fuels undeniable: ships running on fossil fuel from Gulf chokepoints are the ones most exposed to these geopolitical shocks. The 2026 Hormuz crisis is transforming clean fuels from environmental targets into critical security infrastructure. Just as the 1973 embargo birthed the IEA, strategic petroleum reserves, and fuel economy standards, this disruption could do the same for clean fuels.

The ingredients are now all in place: bipartisan support for biofuels in the US, SAF mandates in the EU, and a shipping industry that has just learned exactly what fossil-fuel chokepoint dependence costs. The global market is receiving a harsh, fact-forward lesson: in an era defined by unpredictable geopolitical chokeholds, the most valuable fuel is the one synthesized securely within your own borders

Excerpt from ResourceWise: Energy Security Bringing Biofuels Back Into Focus

Beyond short-term pricing effects, the crisis may also have broader policy implications.

Countries heavily reliant on imported fossil fuels are already reconsidering their energy strategies. Brazil and Indonesia, for example, have recently doubled down on biofuel mandates to reduce dependence on volatile global fuel markets.

Similar discussions are now emerging in the United States.

The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) has urged the Trump administration to accelerate approval of nationwide E15 gasoline, arguing it could help ease rising fuel prices.

For diesel markets, the argument may increasingly shift toward fuel security. Expanding support for biofuels, especially renewable diesel, could align with the broader US Energy Dominance strategy. Recent executive actions have already recognized the importance of green diesel in the country's energy future.

A Market Opportunity for Renewable Fuels

For now, the biofuels industry is experiencing an unexpected tailwind.

A rally in fossil fuel prices driven by geopolitical risk rather than renewable market fundamentals has quickly transformed margins for biodiesel and renewable diesel producers. Whether this boost proves temporary or marks the start of a longer-term shift will depend on how oil markets evolve in the coming months.

But one thing is clear: in times of energy disruption, biofuels are once again stepping into the conversation… not just as a climate solution, but as a strategic energy asset.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Biofuels International: The escalating conflict in the Middle East has pushed crude oil prices sharply higher, with some benchmarks rising more than 25% and surpassing levels last seen in mid‑2022.

This spike in energy costs is reshaping the economics of alternative fuels. As crude becomes more expensive, biodiesel producers are turning to palm oil, which is currently trading at a significant discount to gasoil, making it a more cost‑effective feedstock.

Higher freight rates are also influencing buying patterns.

Asian importers, facing rising shipping costs, are seeking quicker shipments of vegetable oils, further supporting demand for palm oil. At the same time, Indonesia and Malaysia—responsible for the bulk of global supply — have seen production climb to record highs, leaving inventories elevated and prices under pressure.

The conflict has effectively reversed that trend, lifting palm oil prices to their highest in more than a year.

Policy shifts may add further momentum. Indonesia is considering reviving its B50 biodiesel mandate, a move that would significantly increase domestic consumption and tighten global supply. READ MORE

Promises in Bloom: The RVO Reset and Springtime for the Bioeconomy

by Jim Lane (Biofuels Digest)  ...(T)he final “Set 2” Renewable Fuel Standard volume requirements for 2026 and 2027. Not a tweak. A reset.  After seasons of regulatory uncertainty and economic headwinds, President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin delivered what many across the heartland are calling a historic realignment—one that returns the program to its original intent: putting American farmers first, prioritizing homegrown fuels, and restoring forward motion to a system that had, at times, stalled.

In the twentieth year of the Renewable Fuel Standard, the new rule sets volumes at the highest levels in the program’s history. The EPA estimates more than $10 billion in economic impact for rural America and over 100,000 jobs created across agriculture and manufacturing. But numbers alone don’t tell the story. They move.

The Numbers That Move

The volumes arrive in full stride.

26.81 billion RINs in 2026. 27.02 billion in 2027. Not incremental growth—acceleration. Biomass-based diesel climbs to 9.07 billion RINs, then 9.20. Advanced biofuels stretch higher, to 11.10 and 11.32. Cellulosic, still the smallest stream, continues its steady advance—1.36 to 1.43. And anchoring it all: 15 billion gallons of conventional biofuel, held firm, a signal of continuity in a system that has not always offered it.

To meet these levels, biodiesel and renewable diesel production must rise more than 60 percent from 2025. The payoff: a projected reduction of roughly 300,000 barrels per day in foreign oil dependence.

This is not inventory. This is motion returning to the system.

From Moment to Memory

Policy moments come and go. Systems remember.

What matters now is whether this day becomes structure—plants restarted, capital returning, feedstocks flowing—or whether it remains what Washington sometimes produces best: a beautiful morning in a garden, remembered mostly for the speech.

Voices in the Garden

...

Across the industry, the response was immediate. Geoff Cooper of the Renewable Fuels Association pointed to long-sought clarity for producers and markets alike. Emily Skor emphasized the signal of durable commitment. Jed Bower called it certainty at a moment when certainty has been scarce. And for Chuck Grassley, who has carried this issue for decades, the moment carried the weight of memory—policy catching up, at last, with intent.

Three Structural Turns

But the real story isn’t just in the gallons.It’s in three structural turns—quiet revolutions embedded in the rule.

Act I: The SRE Reckoning
A 70 percent reallocation of small refinery exemptions restores nearly a billion RINs annually to the system—ensuring that obligations translate into actual blending, not accounting artifacts.

Act II: The Half-RIN Border
Beginning in 2028, foreign fuels and feedstocks receive half credit. A clear signal: domestic production takes priority, and the runway to scale it begins now.

Act III: Electricity Exits the Stage
Renewable electricity is formally removed from the RFS framework, returning the program to its statutory foundation—liquid and gaseous fuels, as originally intended.

Three moves. Each long debated. Each now decided.

A System Reawakens

Few sectors feel this shift more than biomass-based diesel. After a punishing 2025—plants idled, production down sharply—the new volumes offer something the industry has lacked: a pathway back. Producers are already signaling readiness to bring existing capacity—some 7 billion gallons—back into full use, potentially supplying more than 10 percent of U.S. diesel demand.

Looking to the Horizon

...

There are still issues to resolve—regulatory refinements, market expansions, the continued push toward higher blends like E15—but the direction is unmistakable. The system is moving again.

The Garden, in Bloom

...

And today, something long sought has come back into view. So let us enjoy it—fully, gratefully, without hesitation. Not as skeptics peering too closely at the gift, but as participants in it, stewards of what comes next.  READ MORE

Excerpt from Office of Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA): “Four biodiesel plants in Iowa closed or idled after the Biden administration set RVOs too low. With today’s announcement, President Trump and Administrator Zeldin are bringing relief for Iowa farmers and biofuel producers and for every consumer who wants lower prices at the pump. Biofuels drive economic growth in rural communities and strengthen U.S. energy independence. That’s why I’m working so hard to get year-round, nationwide E15 enacted into permanent law,” Grassley said.

As part of the announcement, foreign fuels and feedstocks will receive half the RFS compliance value compared to American-made products starting in 2028. This gives domestic biofuel producers the ability to prepare for the change and benefit over foreign competition. Last year, Grassley led over 45 Senate and House colleagues in a letter urging EPA to finalize this policy.

EPA also announced it is finalizing a 70% partial reallocation of the 2023–2025 exempted RVOs for the 2026 and 2027 compliance years. This follows a push led by Grassley and U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) urging EPA to reallocate any gallons lost through the granting of small refinery exemptions (SREs). Strong reallocation ensures more RVOs are accounted for.

Background:

Since he helped establish the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Grassley has worked to ensure the executive branch implements the law as intended. Grassley also supported the Energy Independence Security Act of 2007, which included requirements for cellulosic ethanol and set a mandatory RFS requiring fuel producers to use at least 36 billion gallons of biofuel by 2022. Grassley pushed ensuing administrations to keep to this number.

In 2023, Grassley joined the No Fuel Credits for Batteries Act to nullify a proposed Biden-era E-RINS rule that props up the electric vehicle industry while devaluing incentives for ethanol and biodiesel expansion.

Grassley has consistently led bicameral efforts to raise RVOs, including for the 2024-2025 RVOs as well as for 2026 and beyond.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Sustainable Advanced Biofuels Refiners Coalition/EIN Presswire:  SABR pushed EPA for years to correct renewable diesel’s EV, which unfairly disadvantaged biodiesel. With the new rule, the biodiesel market is set to stabilize.

SABR applauds EPA for this final rule, including its decision to correct inflated equivalence values. We also applaud EPA for increasing the RVOs and partially reallocating SREs.”  — Joe Jobe, CEO, Sustainable Advanced Biofuel Refiners (SABR) Coalition

The Sustainable Advanced Biofuel Refiners (SABR) Coalition, a national biodiesel trade association made up of over 70 organizational members throughout the biodiesel value chain, welcomed U.S. EPA’s final rule March 27 on renewable volume obligations (RVOs) for 2026 and 2027 under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard program.

“SABR applauds EPA for this final rule, including its decision to correct inflated equivalence values (EVs),” said SABR CEO Joe Jobe. “We also applaud EPA for increasing the RVOs and partially reallocating small refinery exemptions (SREs).”

SABR has been urging EPA to correct inflated EVs assigned to renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and their byproducts for several years (see this 2023 SABR article). In the agency’s 2023 proposed “Set” rule, EPA acknowledged that renewable diesel EVs were inflated, and that this is unfair to biodiesel. As a result, EPA proposed correcting them, but renewable diesel advocates argued against this, and the agency did not include a correction in the 2023 final rule.

At recent average D4 renewable identification number (RIN) credit prices of $1.60, the inflated EV for renewable diesel results in an improper advantage of 32 cents per gallon over biodiesel. It is one of the primary reasons that renewable diesel has been cannibalizing biodiesel over the past few years.

“We are very glad that EPA chose to correct the inflated values in this rulemaking,” Jobe said. “We are also glad to see that EPA addressed the inflated values for SAF and naphtha as well.”

The RFS was instrumental in the development of the U.S. biodiesel industry—America’s first advanced biofuel. In recent years, arbitrarily low RVOs and flawed policy signals have improperly disadvantaged biodiesel, the lowest-cost, lowest-carbon, and highest-performing fuel in its heavy-duty category. Today’s announcement takes some critically important steps toward addressing those flaws and getting the RFS back on track.

Several soybean organizations joined SABR in their comments to correct the inflated equivalence values. “SABR has been the leading voice to fix the inflated equivalence values,” said Ron Kindred, a soybean farmer from Atlanta, Illinois, who represents the Illinois Soybean Association on the SABR board. “This correction will help reduce some of the flawed policy disadvantages placed on biodiesel, and it will help soybean farmers by effectively adding more gallons to the program. We appreciate the positive changes EPA implemented with this rule. The increases in the biomass-based diesel category indicate that EPA is listening to stakeholders and working to provide clarity to markets.”

About the SABR Coalition
Sustainable Advanced Biofuel Refiners (SABR) is a coalition of stakeholders that have invested in building out America’s first advanced biofuel—biodiesel. Biodiesel is the most cost-effective means to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, providing numerous performance, economic, environmental and energy security benefits. It is produced from renewable resources such as soybean oil, used cooking oil and animal fats. SABR includes stakeholders from every link in the value chain from feedstock growers to biodiesel producers, distributors, retailers and consumers, as well as infrastructure, product and service providers.

Excerpt from Brownfield Ag News: A petroleum group says the EPA’s new biofuel blending requirements will cost consumers and taxpayers more. 

Geoff Cooper with the Renewable Fuels Association tells Brownfield that it isn’t the case. “There’s really no logical argument, no reasonable argument that the RFS is somehow raising fuel costs for consumers, and I think, you know, I think the administration understands that. Certainly, Congress understands that.”

In a recent statement, American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers CEO Chet Thompson said the RFS already costs nearly 25-cents per gallon, and the EPA’s rule will add tens of billions more. 

Cooper says refiners falsely believe they have to buy Renewable Identification Numbers, or RIN credits, to comply with the RFS. 

But he says, “That isn’t true. You don’t have to buy a RIN credit from another refiner. You can buy biofuel. You can buy ethanol, you can buy renewable diesel, you can buy biodiesel, you can blend it with the refined product you’re making at your refinery. You can get that RIN credit for free by doing that.”

He says ethanol can be purchased for about $2.00 a gallon, which comes with the RIN credit, compared to about $3.15 a gallon for wholesale gasoline.

The EPA’s 2026 rule requires 26.81 billion gallons of total renewable fuel, and 27.02 billion gallons for 2027.

The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers say the new RVO requirements would cost Americans and refiners about $37 billion, or $770 per extra ethanol gallon.  The organization has not responded to Brownfield’s request for comment.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from S&P Global:  Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has updated its 2026 Renewable Volume Obligation weightings (RVOY026 and RVOR002) and the 2025 cellulosic weight (RVCY025) using the Environmental Protection Agency's finalized Renewable Fuel Standards for 2026, effective March 30, 2026.

The EPA released its finalized rule on March 27, 2026, and as per Platts methodology, RVO formulas may be updated when the EPA makes such changes.

As per Platts methodology, the renewable fuels are mandated by the EPA; they are subject to change without prior notice. When the EPA sets forth such changes, Platts will inform the market of any resulting changes to the assessment formulas through subscriber notes.

Prior to the final rule, Platts calculated the 2026 RVO using the 2025 Annual Energy Outlook and the proposed standards for 2026, assuming a 50% reallocation for small refinery exceptions, November Small Refinery Exemption and the updated adjustment factors. Platts launch note can be found here.

The EPA's latest RFS 2026 weightings are as follows:

Category Previous New
D6 8.98% 9.08%
D5 0.36% 0.39%
D4 4.21% 5.24%
D3 0.77% 0.79%

Therefore, Platts calculates the 2026 RVO in cents/gal using the following formula, considering new percentages:

RVO = 9.08 % (D6) + 0.39 % (D5) + 5.24% (D4) + 0.79 % (D3)

Platts has also updated the cellulosic biofuel percentage (D3) mandate for its calculated values of the US RVO for compliance year 2025 (RVOY025).

The update follows the EPA's partial waiver of the 2025 cellulosic biofuel volume requirement, published March 27, 2026.

The updated 2025 D3 percentage is 0.71%, down from the EPA's initially stated 0.81%.

Platts publishes current-year RVO (RVOR002) and 2025 RVO ( RVOY025 ) in the Platts Biofuelscan, LatinWire, USMarketWire, Fuel Ethanol Report and Biomass-Based Diesel Report.

Symbols also appear on Platts Alert pages PBF10, 201, 210, 301, and 310, and PGA, PFR 28, 164,165, 310, 330, 331, 350, 351, 410, 411, 430, 431, 450, 451, 481.

Excerpt from Brownfield Ag News:  A professor of agricultural economics with the University of Illinois says recently announced Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) from the U.S. EPA stand to dramatically impact domestic soybean demand.

Scott Irwin tells Brownfield, “We’re going to have another boom that is going to be driven by renewable diesel and biodiesel.”

Irwin says the EPA’s announced intentions to award only half credit for imported fuels and feedstocks beginning in 2028 is key.

“We’re going to get more domestic feedstock use than we would have because of the incentives and the 45-Z tax credit.”  He says, “You can only get the 45-Z tax credit if you use feedstock from North America.”

He expects full implementation could drive soybean prices 50 to 75 cents per bushel higher.

“That’s a big move, and I think it’s going to be responsible for us likely turning the corner and starting to crawl out of the cyclical lows for corn and soybean prices,” he says.

Irwin says the mix of domestic and foreign feedstocks used in 2026 and 2027 will determine the extent of price impact the RVOs will have on soybeans in the near term. READ MORE; includes AUDIO

 

Excerpt from AgWeb: Matt Upmeyer with Montana Renewables explains why it could spark major gains for U.S. agriculture.

...

“It sure feels like it,” says Matt Upmeyer, director of feedstock sourcing and strategy at Montana Renewables, when asked whether the policy signals the next biofuel boom. “We received a strong RVO, adding about 2 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel demand, and that’s a huge increase. And certainly feedstock demand is growing as well. That 2 billion of biomass-based diesel represents about 15 billion lb. of feedstock for the biodiesel and renewable diesel producers. And that really translates directly back to farm and agriculture growth as well.”

From Underperformance to Full Throttle

For an industry coming off a sharp downturn, where biodiesel production fell significantly in 2025 and facilities idled or slowed, the scale of the mandate is not just notable — it is corrective.

“I mean, I think it is realistic,” Upmeyer says of the aggressive growth targets. “The industry is poised to meet that demand. We’ve got capacity. The renewable industry, which is both biodiesel and renewable diesel, has a combined capacity of probably around 7 billion gallons. So meeting that mandate, I don’t think is a problem.”

But meeting it will require a fundamental reshuffling of how feedstocks move through the system.

“We will definitely see some changes and shifts in the feedstock flows,” he says. “We talked a little bit about the soybean oil increase and the production of soybean oil through crush. I think also you’re going to see the tallow industry and choice white grease, the hog industry, as well as poultry fat — all of those are going to find their way into the renewable diesel and biodiesel in a greater way. I think we’ll maximize all of the available low-CI feedstocks, including distillers corn oil. And then from there, obviously, the demand will be filled with soy.”

...

“I think that as we expand the amount of biomass-based diesel we produce, we’re going to start looking to other feedstocks as well. So canola, there’s a fair amount of canola grown in the United States, and certainly our neighbors to the north are large canola producers,” Upmeyer says. “I think that will become an integral part of what we do. And then there’s other low-CI feedstocks that are sort of on the cusp, things like camelina and different things like that will get attracted new attention right now to see how they may fit into the future mandates and production.”

...

“Biodiesel producers have a slightly different process than renewable diesel,” he says. “They take fats, oils and greases, combine them with methanol and catalysts to make biodiesel. And methanol costs have shot up, right? So I think the marginal producers on biodiesel are still probably not super inclined to start up, but certainly the integrated biodiesel plants will be running hard. And I do believe that even the marginal biodiesel players will get a chance to restart those assets in the near term.”

...

“We just couldn’t get our heads around the administrative burden that might be associated with a half-RIN,” Upmeyer says. “How do you account for feedstocks coming in from some Canadian origin, some domestic, some from foreign sources? So I think there was an administrative burden that was certainly problematic.”

“This is certainly in line with the administration’s desire to maintain energy independence in the U.S. and to have a U.S.-based and U.S.-centric market for our crop inputs and fuels,” he says. “So I think there were a lot of things that went into this. But at the end of the day, it’s still on the table for 2028. I don’t think there’s clear guidance yet, but it certainly left that door open to address this issue in the Set 3 rule.”

A Win for Agriculture

When asked if he would classify this is a “win for U.S. agriculture,” Upmeyer said the immediate impact of the record-high blending mandates for 2026 and 2027 is already clear to those closest to the supply chain.

“I think it’s a great win,” Upmeyer says. “Again, we’re really underpinning the demand for soybeans and crush. We’ve got a strong demand for the rendered products that come from the beef industry and hog industry. So, I think this is a win for agriculture and for the renewable fuels industry. We certainly applaud the administration’s commitment to energy independence, to the renewable space and ultimately to agriculture.” READ MORE; includes VIDEO

 

Excerpt from Chemical & Engineering News:  The Clean Air Act restricts the amount of ethanol that can be blended into gasoline during the summer to 10% in most cases, a provision in the 1970 law intended to cut smog by reducing the vapor pressure of gasoline. The EPA is empowered to issue emergency waivers, however, and has done so every summer since 2022. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin says in a press release that the E15 waiver will reduce the cost of gasoline and increase supply.

Even if the EPA’s rationale is economic, the move is sound from an air quality standpoint, says Joanne Ivancic, executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Advanced Biofuels USA.

A 10% blend has a higher vapor pressure, meaning it evaporates more easily than pure gasoline does, and the law assumes that trend continues as more ethanol is added, Ivancic says. “However, the opposite is true. The potential smog problem actually decreases with higher ethanol blends.” Data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory PDF, recently renamed the National Lab of the Rockies, show that the vapor pressure peaks at about 10% ethanol and curves steadily downward at higher concentrations.

The EPA also finalized the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) rules for 2026 and 2027, setting the renewable fuel blending requirements such that roughly 300,000 barrels of oil per day will be replaced by biofuels—an amount the agency says is the highest in program history. In a press release, Zeldin says the mandate “creates a larger, more stable, and more reliable domestic market for U.S. crops, strengthening farm income and rural economies.”

...

The American Coalition for Ethanol, an industry group, praises both actions but urges the federal government to go further. The organization says that Congress should act to make E15 permanently legal year-round and that the EPA should “seriously consider higher volumes next year” to make up for instability in the RFS in recent years.

Excerpt from National Renewable Energy Laboratory: Blending of ethanol into gasoline at 10 volume percent causes the RVP to increase by about 1 psi despite the fact that fuel grade ethanol has a lower vapor pressure than gasoline (see Figure 1). The low vapor pressure of fuel grade ethanol is caused by attractive forces between the ethanol molecules.

...

When ethanol was first permitted as an additive in gasoline at concentrations of up to 10% in 1979, its effect on vapor pressure was not regulated.3 In 1992, new EPA regulations (40 CFR 80.27) provided a 1-psi waiver for ethanol blends that contained between 9 and 10 percent ethanol. Most, but not all, of the state-set RVP standards also allow a 1-psi waiver for blends of 9 to 10 percent ethanol.4,5 READ MORE
