MTBE,  or  methyl  tertiary  butyl  ether,  is  blended  with  gasoline  to  enhance  its  oxygen  content  and  it  accounts  for  about  10  percent  of  the  volume  of  every  gallon  of  gasoline  with  which  it  is  blended.  This  is  equal  to  about  1.4  percent  of  the  nationwide  supply.  Many  gasoline  marketers  are  planning  to  eliminate  their  use  of  MTBE  once  the  oxygenate  requirement  lapses  on  May  5  due  to  the  fact  that  the  Energy  Policy  Act  of  2005  didn't  protect  MTBE  producers  from  past  or  future  groundwater  contamination  lawsuits.  Additionally,  the  new  Renewable  Fuel  Standard  holds  refiners  to  a  baseline  use  of  renewable  fuels  such  as  ethanol  of  4  billion  gallons  in  2006  and  increasing  to  7.5  billion  gallons  by  2012.  The  Energy  Department  estimates  that  130,000  barrels  per  day  of  extra  ethanol  will  be  needed  beginning  May  5,  an  amount  equal  to  almost  50  percent  of  current  output.

Winsness  concluded:  "According  to  the  Renewable  Fuels  Association,  the  ethanol  industry  has  been  planning  for  this  transition  for  some  time  and  producers  have  taken  the  necessary  steps  to  respond  to  the  increased  demand.  We  are  excited  and  grateful  for  the  opportunity  to  provide  our  ethanol  clients  with  additional  options  to  meet  the  increased  demand  in  cost-effective  and  rapid  ways."
