by Timothy J. Rudnicki (Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association) In the past few weeks, we have been working with state lawmakers to advance a bill that would provide partial funding for fuel retailers to make the necessary infrastructure upgrades to offer E15. This initiative holds the potential to strengthen market signals to speed the adoption of E15 in Minnesota. Let’s be clear, MN Bio-Fuels has long held the position that it is the duty and obligation of the petroleum industry to provide the necessary fueling systems to offer at least E15 to Minnesotans. But 13 years after the RFS and the Minnesota Petroleum Replacement Law (which calls for 30 percent biofuel by 2025) and the availability of E15 for eight years, only 10 percent of fuel retailers offer E15.
