A team at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln reached its conclusion after a yearlong demonstration, comparing various data points among a fleet of state-owned, non-flex-fuel vehicles.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered its agencies to consume more ethanol and biodiesel and is offering $100 million in grant funding for fueling infrastructure.
The City of Watertown, S.D., is transitioning its entire gasoline-fueled fleet to exclusive E-30 use. Ethanol is produced in the city using corn grown by local farmers.
The State of South Dakota will transition its fleet vehicles to run on E-30, Governor Kristi Noem announced.
The State of Nebraska will run 50 state vehicles on a 30% ethanol blend to see how the fuel performs in conventional engines.
The South Dakota's Division of Fleet and Travel Management, which includes 3,987 vehicles, utilized nearly 2.5 million gallons of E-10, E-30, and E-85 fuels in one year.
Brown County, S.D., will develop a plan to use a 30% ethanol blend — E-30 — in its fleet vehicles. The move would help drive the local agriculture economy and reduce costs.
Unlike gasoline, which is delivered to the city by cargo ship, E-85 is transported by rail and is less likely to be delayed during severe weather or hurricanes.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is expected to reduce the amount of ethanol that's blended into the nation's gasoline by at least 15% when it finalizes its proposal by Nov. 30.
