25x25 Alliance Asks EPA for Flex Fuel Vehicle Guidelines
More than 50 partners in the 25x’25 Alliance have urged the EPA to issue guidance on flex fuel vehicles (FFVs), according FarmIndustryNews.com. The Alliance wrote a letter to the EPA endorsing the Volkswagen Group of America’s recent request for EPA to issue guidance concerning the E85 weighting factor (“F factor”) for model year 2016-2025 FFVs. The F factor is used to estimate the volume of E85 combusted in FFVs to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions.
The 25x’25 Alliance wrote, “This guidance is critical to incentivize the continued production of FFVs and to support the further advancement and deployment of biofuels into the nation’s liquid transportation fuel pool; fuels which are essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing air quality.” S
