Many states have chosen to enact ethanol-related legislation, including incentives for its production, pump incentives for its sale, and requirements for ethanol-blended fuel use.
Ten states have enacted Renewable Fuels Standards that require the use of ethanol-blended fuel:
- Hawaii
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Minnesota
- Missouri
- Montana
- Oregon
- Washington
- Florida
**California does not require renewable fuels. However, the state has an oxygen standard, and the only oxygenate approved by CARB is denatured ethanol. Technically, a fuel that meets the requirements of the CaRFG Phase 3 Predictive Model could contain as little as 0 percent oxygen or as much as 3.7 percent oxygen.
Twelve states have some type of retail pump incentives for ethanol, whether for E10, E85, or both types of ethanol-blended fuel:
- Alaska (E10)
- Idaho (both)
- Illinois (both)
- Iowa (both)
- Kansas (E85)
- Maine (both)
- Minnesota (E85)
- Oklahoma (both)
- South Dakota (both)
- Hawaii (both)
- South Carolina (E85)
- Alabama (E10)
Twenty-two states have some type of incentive for ethanol producers:
- Arkansas
- Hawaii
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Maine
- Maryland
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Montana
- Nebraska
- New York
- North Dakota
