(NAFB.com) – The U.S. Grains and Global Bioproducts Council is holding its annual Global Ethanol Summit in Washington, D.C.. At the summit, Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor expressed optimism for the future of bioethanol, while highlighting the positive impact that pro-bioethanol policies have on agriculture. “Bioethanol’s future has never been clearer, and our outlook has never been more positive,” Skor said. “We deliver a more affordable, high-octane fuel choice that can be used in more than a billion gas-powered cars and trucks on roads around the globe today.” All over the world, she added, from Canada to Brazil to Japan, countries are increasing their commitments to use more bioethanol at higher blends. Skor also noted bioethanol’s advantages as a tool for other countries to enhance their trade relationship with the U.S. Skor said that when America invests in bioethanol, the country is investing in the rural economy, supporting farmers, and boosting GDP.
