Interview with Chris Wilson, general manager of Mid Missouri Energy, about new John Deere ZTrak Z925M Flex Fuel commercial mower they won at the 2017 National Ethanol Conference.

At the 2017 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, the Renewable Fuels Association stepped up its efforts to provide motorcycle owners with the facts about the use of ethanol their engines - mainly that ten percent ethanol is approved by every major motorcycle manufacturer. This edition of the Ethanol Report includes comments from RFA VP of Industry Relations Robert White, Buffalo Chip Campground owner Rod Woodruff, RFA chairman Mick Henderson and some bikers who filled up during Free Fuel Happy Hours.  

Renewable Fuels Association president and CEO Bob Dinneen keynoted the 33rd annual Fuel Ethanol Workshop and Expo in Minneapolis. In this podcast interview he talks about finding new markets for ethanol and the atmosphere in DC this summer.

More than a decade after the original renewable fuel standard (RFS) was signed into law, tremendous progress has been made toward its goals of energy security, clean air and boosting local economies, according to a new analysis by the Renewable Fuels Association, “RFS Impacts: By the Numbers.” The analysis comes as EPA is expected to soon issue its proposed 2018 renewable volume obligations (RVOs) under the RFS.

The Renewable Fuels Association is giving people a chance to win $50 in free fuel per day all summer long just for reporting prices for higher ethanol blends around the country. Beginning on Memorial Day, RFA is launching the “Ethanol Days of Summer” contest, allowing anyone to report the price posted for E85 and other ethanol blends just by being registered on E85prices.com and submitting prices any day, every day for multiple stations each day. Registered users can also download the E85 Prices mobile app so they can submit prices right on their phone. Daily winners will be drawn through Labor Day, and winners will be announced every two weeks.
