How would this impact auto emissions and address air pollution?
Through this waiver process, the EPA must determine that E15 would not cause or contribute to the failure of vehicles’ emission control systems. The scientific research here is solid. In addition, the use of more ethanol nationwide would reduce harmful air emissions because ethanol is a clean-burning fuel, much more so than gasoline, a fact backed by years of real-world use. The latest research shows that the lifecycle emissions of today’s corn-based ethanol are on average 51 percent better than those of gasoline.
