The Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) has awarded matching grants to 21 states to expand the number of E15 and E85 ethanol-blended fuel pumps as part of the Biofuel Infrastructure Partnership.
Under the $210 million program, 4,880 pumps and 515 tanks will be installed at about 1,500 fuel stations in participating states. This will nearly double the number of fueling pumps nationwide that supply ethanol-blended fuels. Conventional gasoline has a 10% ethanol mix.
The participating states are: Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The top beneficiaries are Texas ($17 million), Florida ($16 million) and Illinois ($12 million).
USDA also released a new report on ethanol, which is available here. It says more than 14 billion gallons of corn-based ethanol was produced last year in the U.S., up from 1.6 billion gallons in 2000.
