EPA Lifts Summer Restrictions on Higher Ethanol Fuel Amid Rising Oil Prices and Ongoing Global Conflicts.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has temporarily lifted summer restrictions on the sale of higher ethanol fuel due to potential oil price spikes related to conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. This is the third consecutive summertime waiver for the ethanol industry, which has been pushing for year-round sales of 15 percent ethanol fuel. The move was expected by the Biden administration and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, an ethanol ally, who had hinted at the decision. EPA Administrator Michael Regan stated that allowing E15 sales during summer driving season would increase fuel supply, support farmers, strengthen energy security, and provide relief to drivers across the country.
