U.S. Supreme Court Leaves Limits On Higher Ethanol Fuel Blend


The U.S. Supreme Court, on Monday, turned away an Industry Group's bid to Revive a Decision, made by Trump's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to allow Expanded Sales of Gasoline that has a Higher Ethanol blend, called E15.

The action by the Justices, dealt a blow to the Ethanol industry, which wants to Increase Sales and Access to E15.

Growth Energy, a Biofuels Industry group that had filed a Petition, asking the Justices to Review a lower Court's ruling Vacating the Trump EPA E15 Policy, expressed Disappointment in the Supreme Court's decision.

"Growth Energy will continue to explore all potential avenues to make unfettered access to E15 a reality," Emily Skor, the group's Chief Executive, said in a statement.

The EPA, in 2019 extended a Waiver that allowed year-round sales of E15, effectively Lifting summertime Restrictions.

Ruling in a Lawsuit brought by an Oil Refining Trade group challenging the Policy, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, last year decided that the Agency had Exceeded its Authority.
