The US EPA finalized a rule on reformulated gasoline under the Clean Air Act that would reduce smog-forming emissions in the country`s largest cities by almost 30% by 2000. At the same time, the agency has floated a proposal to require 30% of the oxygenates used in the reformulated gasoline program to come from renewable sources. According to EPA, the impact of the proposal will be to create additional demand for renewable fuels, expanding the marketplace for ethanol and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) producers.
