Ten states have enacted Renewable Fuels Standards that require the use of ethanol-blended fuel:
- Hawaii
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Minnesota

**California does not require renewable fuels. However, the state has an oxygen standard, and the only oxygenate approved by CARB is denatured ethanol. Technically, a fuel that meets the requirements of the CaRFG Phase 3 Predictive Model could contain as little as 0 percent oxygen or as much as 3.7 percent oxygen.
