Ethanol producers and industry leaders will gather Aug. 19-21 in Minneapolis for the American Coalition for Ethanol’s 39th annual conference, focused on expanding markets and navigating federal policy. AgNewsWire reports the conference theme, “Fueling Freedom,” ties ethanol to America’s 250th anniversary and its role in domestic energy production, rural economies and consumer fuel choices. The American Coalition for Ethanol says sessions will address E15 and E85 retail markets, international trade, new uses for ethanol and technologies aimed at improving plant efficiency and profitability. Breakout sessions will focus on leadership, technology and carbon. ACE CEO Brian Jennings said the industry enters the conference amid developments involving year-round E15, federal Renewable Fuel Standard volumes and implementation of the 45Z clean fuel production tax credit. The conference will be held at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center and bring together producers, retailers, policymakers and researchers.
