SACRAMENTO, CALIF.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, welcomed news that California’s E15 Multimedia Working Group (MMWG) transmitted its Staff Written Summary to the California Environmental Policy Council (CEPC) today. The publication of the summary marks regulatory progress–an important step in the ongoing process of giving California drivers access to E15, a more affordable fuel option made with 15% ethanol that can be used in 96% of cars on the road today and that California approved for sale in October.
Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor issued the following statement in response:
“Californians deserve access to more affordable fuel options and that’s precisely what E15 would provide. We commend the Multimedia Working Group for its continued work and for taking the steps it needs to take to swiftly get E15 into the marketplace. We will continue to engage with the appropriate agencies, our members, and our retail partners to give California drivers access to lower-cost E15 as soon as possible.”
