NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Apr 20, 2012) - Ethanol stocks are gaining attention after prices for the fuel received a boost in recent weeks following the announcement that the US Environmental Agency (EPA) had officially approved E15 as a registered fuel. "States in the Midwest have begun to address their regulatory requirements and perhaps as early as summer we could see E15 at fuels stations in the Heartland of America. The future for consumers, ethanol producers and this country has just gotten a little brighter, a little stronger," said Bob Dinneen, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association.

Advocates of ethanol for many years have been seeking government approval for an increase in the proportion of ethanol in the fuel mix sold. The current mix for fuel sold to power vehicles contains 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline. But a new blend with 15 percent ethanol -- known as E15 -- can be used by vehicles manufactured in 2001 or later. On April 2 the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially approved E15 as a registered fuel.
