The company is the only refiner to remove barriers for its retail brand locations by establishing a misfueling mitigation plan that is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and establishing E15 as a qualifying grade of fuel, in order to make E15 more accessible.
"… expanding options for ethanol blended fuel is important for our Cenex brand retailers and our farmer-owners," says Akhtar Hussain, director of refined fuels marketing at CHS. "CHS has always been committed to offering ethanol blended flexible fuels throughout its network of 1,450 Cenex brand retail facilities. We continue to demonstrate this commitment by working with our terminal partners to offer higher ethanol blends in a broader geography across the Cenex retail network."
