California Takes Action to Increase Use of Ethanol in Gasoline

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) at their June 14th meeting in Fresno voted on a new reformulation of California gasoline that will allow an increase up to 10 percent of the amount of renewable, clean-burning, low carbon ethanol into California’s gasoline blend. Both ethanol and petroleum producers joined together to support this action and worked closely with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s administration, CARB and the environmental community to forge an agreement that will produce immediate reductions in greenhouse gases as it brings the state up to national standards for ethanol use.
