As more focus is put on lowering carbon footprints, the Renewable Fuels Association sees demand for corn going up…and not just the grain.
Kelly Davis with the Renewable Fuels Association says the RFA has a low carbon pledge, and just released a research report that outlines the pathway to their low-carbon future. “Corn farming is a part of that. Corn farmers certainly know how to be more sustainable and once they get the ability to claim sustainability credits, I believe it will be undertaken and so therefore we can add those credits to the ethanol and therefore sell more.”
And Davis says she also looks forward to cost-effectively using more of the corn plant.
