In January 2001, there were only 50 E85 stations across the United States.Now, there are over 2,100 but the increase in stations hasn't been without a few hiccups.A rapid growth in stations occurred in many years, but despite continued increase in FFVs, the growth from 2009 – 2010 was the slowest growth experienced in several years.
Growth Energy is working to reverse this trend through several actions:
- Establishment of a financial assistance program during 2010.We'll be announcing our financial support program during the first week of February.
- Having staff on the ground in 15 states to provide in person assistance to retailers
- Providing financial assistance to the California Ethanol Vehicle Coalition (California is the largest single market for transportation fuels in the Western Hemishere)
- Making available the most experienced team of Market Development professionals in the nation.
- Having access to an Advisory Committee representing equipment manufacturers, auto makers, corn growers, ethanol producers, ethanol marketers, and others.
