With the recently expanded RFS, higher level blends of ethanol are becoming more widely available outside of the Midwest, where ethanol has traditionally been more accessible.
California is leading the way in building new ethanol pumps. Currently, there are five pumps in the state but that number is rapidly growing.
San Bernadino, CA paper The Press Enterprise has a new story where they explore the expansion of ethanol pumps within the state, talking with California ethanol wholesaler Pearson Fuels:
Ethanol wholesaler Pearson Fuels, with headquarters in San Diego, is assisting in the construction of eight ethanol stations in California. One is in Perris, and another is in Beaumont.
The rest are in Carlsbad, Concord, Hayward, San Jose, Carmichael and Sacramento.
“We want them spread out,” said Mike Lewis, a principal in Pearson Fuels.
Ethanol is becoming more visible every day, and it is great news that higher level ethanol blends are becoming more available along the West Coast!
