Informed observers have indicated that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will increase inclusion rates for ethanol and other biofuels for the coming three years. The following blending mandates are anticipated:
- 2023: 20.82 billion gallons
- 2024: 21.87 billion gallons
- 2025: 22.68 billion gallons

Cellulosic biofuel is only an apiration |
For each of the three years, 15 billion gallons will be derived from corn-based ethanol with an aspiration that the remainder will be derived from advanced biofuels including algae or methane but not necessarily from cellulosic substrates. Although the EPA has established blending volume mandates for advanced biofuels ranging from 5.82 billion gallons in 2023 to 7.43 billion gallons in 2025 there is no assurance that these quantities will be produced.
