Gevo Inc. recently announced that a bill in Arizona that will let gas stations sell isobutanol-blended gasoline for vehicles, enabling fuels with renewable content for drivers.
Bill HB 2368 permits isobutanol to be used as an oxygenate in gasoline for vehicles in Arizona and will take effect in August 2017. Isobutanol is an ideal renewable gasoline blend because of its high energy content, high octane, low water solubility, and low volatility.
While the law authorizes the use of isobutanol-blended gasoline for on-road vehicles, isobutanol is already being sold in Arizona only for off-road applications such as boating, ATVs, motorcycles, and landscape equipment.
