This Renewable Fuels Month, we’re proud to highlight ethanol as a renewable fuel that starts on Nebraska farms and ends in your tank.

Today, Governor Jim Pillen proclaimed May as Renewable Fuels Month in Nebraska.

Nebraskans are encouraged to take advantage of affordable, renewable fuel options at the pump during Renewable Fuels Month in May and all summer long.

Renewable Fuels Month is recognized by the Nebraska Corn Board, Nebraska Ethanol Board, Nebraska Soybean Board, Nebraska Sorghum and Renewable Fuels Nebraska to highlight the economic, environmental and consumer benefits of biofuels such as ethanol, biodiesel and renewable diesel.

Earlier this week, the Nebraska Corn Board was pleased to host a trade team of livestock nutritionists from Mexico. In partnership with the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council and POET the goal was to educate nutrionists about the value of dried distillers grains (DDGS) in livestock diets.

Thank you to NCB District 1 Director Dan Nerud, Weber Feedyards and Nebraska Animal Science for hosting and providing real-world examples of DDGS in action. These conversations continue and build relationships for Nebraska corn.

One of the Nebraska Corn Board's core pillars revolves around market development and diversifying ethanol demand. Ocean vessels consume billions of gallons of fuel annually, presenting a significant opportunity to diversify and expand ethanol demand. Congratulations to Maersk on their continued research and testing of 100% ethanol in their dual-fuel vessels.

Innovation like this is exactly what moves the corn industry forward.

During Renewable Fuels Month, we recognize the role ethanol plays in supporting Nebraska farmers. Nebraska ranks second in ethanol production, showing its importance in our state. As a product of corn, Nebraska farmers are focused on increasing demand.
