Intermediate Ethanol Blending

The next generation of ethanol is emerging as a transition from corn-based ethanol production to cellulosic-based production. In order to achieve both Presidential and Congressional goals for reduced gasoline consumption, it is critical to increase the availability of existing ethanol blended fuels (E10) at the pump and increase the concentration of ethanol in gasoline (E12, E15, E20).
