SGS INSPIRE’s Long Term Projections

In this section, different scenarios for the future use of E15 in the U.S. will be reviewed.

The first scenario is a relatively extreme case where it is considered that E15 becomes the default fuel offered by all stations, replacing E10.

In 2018 consumption of gasoline in the U.S. was about 142 billion gallons (537.5 billion liters) and consumption of ethanol blended was on average
