Ethanol (E10) |
|
Compiled by Marian G. Rogers, November 2005 |
The use of fuel alcohol continues to grow as states modify
fuel and air pollution requirements. Recently, President Bush signed the
Energy Policy Act of 2005, which expands the use of clean energy. In 2004,
California, Connecticut, and New York banned the use of MTBE in reformulated
gasoline; ethanol is used instead. In 2005, three states (Hawaii, Minnesota,
and Montana) have implemented or soon will require gasoline to contain 10%
ethanol; this is commonly referred to as E10. Legislation regarding ethanol
as fuel has been introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature. The primary focus
of this bibliography is to present information on E10. However, the
bibliography also contains print and electronic resources on ethanol and
related issues as well as on programs in other states.BACKGROUNDBiofuels / Council of State Governments, November 2004. Effects of an RFS [Renewable Fuel Standard] on U.S. Energy
