(NAFB.com) – Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds vetoed an anti-pipeline bill, which the Iowa Corn Growers say will preserve Iowa’s right to pursue carbon capture and sequestration technology. “The Governor’s decision is a win for Iowa’s corn farmers, ethanol industry, and economy,’ the ICGA said in a statement. “Iowa is the world’s leader in corn and ethanol production, and now there’s an opportunity to increase demand for ultra-low carbon fuels, a market that Iowa deserves the ability to pursue.” The Corn Growers also said participation in CCS projects will allow Iowa to capitalize on exciting new ethanol market opportunities like Sustainable Aviation Fuels. “Because of decreased profit margins, Iowa’s corn growers need expanded market growth and access to continue raising corn profitably, allowing them to continue to grow Iowa’s agricultural industry and economy,” the Corn Growers added. “We appreciate the Governor’s decision to continue championing Iowa agriculture and creating new pathways for farmer success.”
