ETHANOL'S OUTLOOK FOR 2010
Ethanol is expected to be more stable and stronger in 2010, according to
Kiplinger's Biofuels Market Alert (December 16, 2009). Two of the key
reasons the newsletter cites in suggesting a better ethanol
market for 2010 are of particular interest to PEI members. The first is
their prediction that the Environmental Protection Agency will approve E15
and stations, primarily in the Midwest, will market an E15 blend by this
fall. The second is that E85 usage will increase because the E85 refueling
infrastructure will spread, mainly as the result of more funding from DOE to
pay for the addition of E85 dispensers. "In some cases, the grants―when
combined with other incentives―will more than pay for the cost of installing
a new E85 pump," the newsletter said.
API SEEKS EPA DATA ON EPA'S POSSIBLE E15 WAIVER
The American Petroleum Institute (API), in a December 16 letter to EPA air
chief Gina McCarthy, urged EPA to release the engineering data behind its
recent announcement that EPA is considering allowing the use of ethanol
blends up to 15 percent in model year 2001 and newer vehicles. API also
asked that EPA delay its decision, which the agency said it would make in
mid-2010, until after all studies funded by government and industry on the
issue are completed in 2011.
PETROLEUM MARKETING NOTES
Beginning this month, Statoil will sell fuel that contains 5 percent ethanol
at 40 percent of the company's stations in southern and eastern Norway. In
2009, the company launched diesel containing 7 percent biodiesel throughout
Norway.
Kroger currently has 850 fuel centers in the United States, in
addition to selling gasoline at around 700 convenience stores. That's up
from 781 fuel centers in January 2009 and 696 in January 2008. "Any new
store we open, we try to put them (fuel centers) in there," said Rachael Betzler, spokesperson for Kroger's Cincinnati-Dayton division.―Business
Courier of Cincinnati, December 25, 2009.
Tri Star Energy, operator of
Daily's brand of convenience stores, will sell 84 of its outlets and
stores in a "strategic divestiture." The sites to be divested are scattered
throughout its operating territory, the bulk of which are located in
Tennessee. Tri Star currently distributes fuel to some 240 locations,
including 100 Daily's stores.―Nashville Business Journal, December 22, 2009.
