UC Riverside study finds emissions benefits for E15 blend in California

Green Car Congress

JUNE 12, 2023

Although no strong differences were found for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, E15 showed lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings when compared to E10. The Renewable Fuels Association—which was one of the supporters of the study — hailed the report as proof of the value of E15 for California.
