Renewable Fuels Month highlights the importance of renewable biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel. The month of May marks the beginning of the summer driving season, making it an ideal time to fuel up on clean and cost-saving biofuels.
North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong on April 15 signed a bill creating a low-carbon fuels fund that is designed to help the state’s ethanol producers lower the CI of the fuel they produce, which could help producers participate in the SAF market.
In April, U.S. Grains Council Regional Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Ramy H. Taieb led a delegation to Nigeria to study the country’s potential for enhanced ethanol consumption.
The EU’s continued discrimination against the use of sustainable crop-based biofuels to reduce emissions from transport has left Europe needlessly reliant on fossil fuels, with many Member States still falling short of renewable energy targets.
U.S. fuel ethanol production was up 1% the week ending April 25, according to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration on April 30. Stocks of fuel ethanol were down slightly and exports were up 88%.
