The emergency fuel waiver to allow the sale of summer gasoline blends containing 15% ethanol will lengthen the period during which Americans can continue buying E15 from June 1 to Sept. 15.
US EPA announced that it’s issuing a waiver to allow the use of E15 nationwide again this summer. This action will provide communities with relief at the pump related to market supply issues created by the ongoing war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East by increasing fuel supply and offering a variety of gasoline fuel blends from which consumers can choose.
“Not only is ethanol-blended gasoline a valuable market to farmers in Ohio and across the Corn Belt, it also gives consumers a major cost-saving option at the pump,” said Ohio Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Adam Sharp. “Although we will continue to push for a permanent fix to year-round sales of E15, Ohio Farm Bureau members appreciate that their message of the importance of continuing to broaden market opportunities for E15 and strengthen our nation’s energy independence was heard by the US EPA. This decision is a win-win for farmers and consumers.”

“AFBF appreciates the Biden administration recognizing the important role biofuels play in meeting America’s energy needs,” said American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall. “Families are struggling with stubbornly high prices everywhere, including at the pump. E15 gasoline gives families a more affordable choice and is part of a climate-smart solution to make America energy independent.”
EPA says it will continue to monitor the supply with industry and federal partners, and the agency expects to issue new waivers effectively extending the emergency fuel waiver until such time as the extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstances due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East are no longer present.
The plan provides a blueprint for policymakers and Ohio Farm Bureau members to bolster Ohio’s agriculture industry and our rural communities.
