QCCP employs 41 dedicated professionals, grinds 12.5 million bushels of corn a year, and produces 35 million gallons of ethanol a year. Use clean-burning fuels!

"The findings of this unique experiment at Copenhagen Airport showcase that using SAF not only reduces CO2 emissions but also reduces the impact of contrails, and enhances local air quality."
SAF = jet fuel + #biofuels
It's the real deal!

“But they have a lot of interest in learning more about the logistics to bring the #ethanol to their own countries.”
Latin America is one of the largest customers when it comes to exporting ethanol.

With the turmoil in the Middle East, this is your reminder that #ethanol significantly contributes to U.S. energy independence.
"The use of ethanol in the U.S. fuel supply reduced crude oil imports by over 600 million barrels in 2022."

Thanks to @BiofuelsVision for reporting on this!
Know why #E15 is a hot topic with the campaigning candidates? Because consumers want it!
And it's not just us in #Iowa!

"[...A]ll Republican candidates who are actively campaigning in #Iowa have voiced support for a permanent, national year-round #E15 fix allowing consumers choice[s] at the pump."
Fantastic news, you guys!

[Biofuels Vision 2024 @BiofuelsVision]

Biofuels Vision 2024 is excited to share documented unanimous support for consumer access to year-round #E15 and opposition to electric vehicles (#EV) mandates from presidential candidates who are actively campaigning in Iowa for the Republican nomination. #IACaucus

Similar to the #ethanol industry itself, @JohnDeere is constantly innovating its business to fit the ever-changing needs of our communities.
As stated, this #renewablefuel is readily available in many parts of the world, and therefore a great answer!
#FactualFriday #EthanolFTW

[Corey Lavinsky @biofuelslaw]

John Deere will have a concept 9.0L engine that is compatible with #ethanol on display at this year’s @AGRITECHNICA show. Millions of companies have come and gone over the past 150 years, but JD has survived by constantly innovating.

The science has already proven - time and time again - that #ethanol "is 40-50 percent less carbon intensive than petroleum on a full lifecycle basis - including emissions from hypothetical land use change scenarios."

Does #ethanol reduce other harmful emissions besides GHGs? You bet!
Ethanol-blended fuels reduce carbon monoxide, exhaust hydrocarbons, air toxics like benzene (which can cause cancer!), and fine particulate matter.
