Earlier this week, federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator, Scott Pruitt, approved the registration of bio-isobutanol as a fuel additive.

"We applaud Administrator Pruitt's approval of bio-isobutanol as a biofuel additive, which will provide consumers a safe, efficient, and environmentally-friendly E15 alternative that is highly compatible with marine products.
