Newly appointed Chairman of the Coalition, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack has outlined the
following strategies for the Coalition during 2000:
- Ensure the role of ethanol in California's gasoline market
and other emerging markets;
- Support the role of ethanol in Phase 2 reformulated
gasoline;
- Increase ethanol's market share through state rules and
incentives;
- support a region-wide fuel quality standard that includes the
banning of MTBE;
- Facilitate the implementation of a regional/national
marketing campaign to increase the market share of ethanol-based fuels; and
- Encourage the involvement of other governors and countries
through expansion of GEC membership.
