Nearly 1 in 6 people working in the ethanol industry are veterans. From the field to the plant to the pump, their service continues in new ways every day. This #VeteransDay, we honor America’s heroes who are building a stronger, cleaner energy future for us all.

DED was honored to host a delegation from the UK to explore Nebraska’s ethanol industry as part of a knowledge sharing mission. Union Pacific, POET, KAAPA and Cargill did a fantastic job showcasing Nebraska’s advantages in low-carbon renewable fuel production and transportation.

Congrats to ADM for this significant achievement and innovative progress that’s moving the #ethanol industry forward!

Nebraskans grow, use and export ethanol. In 2024, U.S. ethanol exports reached a record 1.91 billion gallons, a 36% increase from 2023. Shipments to Canada set a single-destination record at over 647 million gallons. Exports are already up 14% in 2025! https://t.co/7LUG55PadB

From @NebEngineering: Nebraska's bioeconomy isn’t abstract – it’s about corn farmers seeking new markets, rural towns gaining value, and policymakers finally having concrete evidence that small tweaks could yield big wins. Read more on UNL's #E30 study:

Green Plains announces startup of carbon capture system at York. The CCS equipment is now fully operational and is delivering significant volumes of biogenic carbon dioxide to the Tallgrass Trailblazer pipeline for permanent sequestration. Read more:

Read NEB Executive Director Ben Rhodes' opinion column on the here-and-now solution to grind more corn at home: ethanol. "In fact, estimates find that year-round E15 could save consumers upward of $20.6 billion annually at the pump."

Standardizing year-round E15 would increase corn demand by about 2.3 billion bushels per year. This demand creation would help corn growers overcome the current market upset – and rural communities would reap the benefits. #E15NOW #AmericasCrop

Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., on Oct. 6 called on President Trump and federal lawmakers to revitalize the farm economy by enacting the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, a bill that would enable year-round sales of E15. #ethanol https://t.co/CN0LKYLXXw
