Ohio becomes eighth state to notify EPA it will allow year-round E15 from 2023

In Ohio, Gov. Mike DeWine has notified the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that he is taking action to allow the year-round sale of lower-carbon, lower-cost E15 in his state beginning in 2023. Ohio joins eight other Midwestern states that took similar action in April.

DeWine is exercising the authority granted to state governors under the Clean Air Act, and his action will result in equality in the regulation of E15 and E10 volatility during the summer months. This would allow retailers and marketers in Ohio to sell E15 unincumbered year-round in 2023 and beyond, and his action follows a similar move in late April by a bipartisan group of eight governors from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
