Biofuels

The bill would also require major US gasoline companies to carry E-85 renewable fuel, and for 50 percent of their gasoline stations to extend and increase the Renewable Fuel Standards. To assist in this increase in FFVs, all major gas companies would be required to have 50 percent ethanol distribution tanks equipped to all their facilities. Gasoline companies would receive tax credits for meeting the requirements of distributing and changing pumps to ethanol.
