Vancouver, British Columbia, September 18, 2013 - There's been a lot of talk in the news lately about some of the big Wall Street firms exploiting the market for ethanol credits. But what exactly are ethanol credits and how does their price affect us?
It all started about 8 years ago when the Environmental Protection Agency, in their wisdom, decided that gasoline refiners be required to blend a specific amount of ethanol and other bio-fuels into the gasoline. This Renewable Fuel Standard was promoted as a way to reduce reliance on foreign oil, offset global warming, and help out the farming community.
Most ethanol in North America is produced from corn, which resulted in comments like, "Only an environmentalist would burn food as fuel, rather than putting it into the food chain."
