Thanks to Governor Daniels' leadership, Indiana has seen record growth in its biofuels industry. Today it is home to nearly 20 biofuels plants, producing ethanol and biodiesel. Those companies have brought good-paying jobs to rural areas and made Indiana a top-five producer of biofuels in the nation.
The State of Indiana's fleet includes 941 E85 flex fuel and 1,881 diesel vehicles that can use biodiesel.
Statewide, Indiana has 100 E85 pumps - the third highest amount in the nation. In 2005, there were no E85 gas pumps in the state.
In partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, Indiana is leading a multi-state project to establish the nation's first E85 corridor, along I-65, from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico.
