Ethanol producers are talking about new opportunities for the renewable fuels industry.
Jeanne McCaherty with Guardian Energy says, “I’m very excited about the ethanol industry. I think we’ve got more opportunities than we’ve ever had.”
McCaherty tells Brownfield being able to drive ethanol to lower and lower carbon intensities just opened up a whole new market opportunity for the industry beyond fuel. “Now you have people that are trying to make lower carbon-intense plastics, packaging, you know, a lot of different raw materials, whether it’s methanol, sustainable airline fluids, and ethanol is a great raw material to start with that and make that happen.”
And McCaherty says just like fuel, the other products are renewable and environmentally friendly.
