Administrative provisions for obligated parties

The CFP assumes that E15 (15% v/v ethanol and 85% v/v gasoline) is allowed as of 2022. Moreover, the ethanol blend mandate will be E15 in 2035. At that time, E15/E85 (gasoline with 51% v/v – 85% v/v ethanol content) will be cheaper than E10 (10% v/v ethanol and 90% v/v gasoline).

According to the Oregon EQC, the CI of ethanol has decreased from 64.5 to 52.9 gCO2e/MJ since 2016 and will continue to decrease. Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) projects are coming online and reduce the CIs by about 30 gCO2e/MJ. Corn should remain the dominant feedstock.

Oregon CFS for gasoline and gasoline substitutes in 2022 is 93.15 gCO2e per MJ and it should reach 61.78 gCO2e per MJ in 2035, a 37% reduction.
