The American Coalition for Ethanol's Ron Lamberty reflects on a few bygone expressions, including one about a 'camel's nose under the tent' that seems applicable, in both good and bad ways, to California's transition to zero-emission vehicles.

While combined heat and power has been an enticing option for energy progressive ethanol plants for years, it's now a front-and-center play for producers on carbon reduction quests.
With deep knowledge of corn biorefining, Gevo has pivoted to blaze a new trail in sustainable aviation fuel. The company's goal of producing net-negative carbon SAF pivots around the promise of low-carbon agriculture and decarbonized production.
As policymakers put the finishing touches on the EU's Fit for 55 program, they must consider the combined benefits of bioethanol. Beyond climate, it is a proven driver of energy independence, food security and rural economic development.
With advanced enzyme solutions, ethanol producers are unlocking more value from corn and other feedstocks. These evolved cocktails are designed for greater heat tolerance, higher output—including DCO yield—and, of course, next-generation pursuits.
We're headed into 2023 with a bipartisan wind at our backs. Biofuels are positioned for success, and we're grateful to our supporters in Congress—old and new—who share Growth Energy's vision for a thriving low-carbon economy.
