Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy, says biofuels are important to the agricultural economy because they can address trade gaps. Biofuels also give the U.S. national security, which Skor notes the Trump administration has recognized. In ethanol news, a summer waiver was approved for E15 nationwide, but Skor argues the U.S. shouldn't have to keep waiting on waivers or special state action to get year-round E15. Congress has to pass legislation to make it permanent. Last year, the U.S. exported more ethanol than ever, about 12 percent of what was produced. On trade, ethanol can help overcome a trade deficit with a country, so it's a great way to balance it out, Skor says. Meanwhile, Brazil is a fierce competitor and ramping up corn and ethanol production.The Brazilian government is advocating for more markets, and the U.S. needs to do the same, Skor says. "What we don't want is to lose market access to the Brazilians."

The push to restore the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) has taken center stage as a top priority for ethanol producers, corn growers, and advocates of a cleaner, greener economy. Enacted by Congress in 2005 and updated in 2007, the RFS stands as the bedrock law facilitating access to the marketplace for ethanol producers, driving growth not only in ethanol but also in the rural economy and corn production across the nation. "The RFS is not just a law; it's a commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future," says Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy,, a leading advocate for biofuels. "It sets targets for increasing the use of renewable fuels annually and mandates oil refiners to blend gasoline with renewable fuels like ethanol." However, despite its critical role, challenges persist, primarily stemming from the oil refining sector and environmental opposition. Historically, oil refiners have resisted the RFS, viewing it as a threat to their market share. Yet, with advancements in renewable diesel and changing perspectives within the industry, this resistance is beginning to wane. "Many integrated refineries are now recognizing the potential of renewable fuels to maintain low carbon liquid fuels,” Skor explains. “This shift in perspective signifies a growing acceptance of the RFS as a driver of positive change."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Read this statement: ‘If you are aiming to improve an area of your life, you want to use your time in the most effective and powerful way.' Do you agree with this statement? I'm pretty sure most of you will.  Unfortunately, a lot of people don't apply it when they are trying to grow. They… Just do what they have always done in the past Put their focus on the wrong things Don't spend time understanding and developing the most effective pathway forward This can lead to a place where their progress is slow and frustrating. In developing a growth pathway, we want to make sure we are using our energy in the most effective way possible so we can quickly create impactful change and continue to evolve down this path.
