The theme for the 36th annual American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) conference coming up next month in Minneapolis is “Everything Counts” for an industry focused on improving its carbon footprint.

“Every little improvement, from climate smart farming to carbon capture and efficiency improvements, they all count toward improving ethanol’s carbon score,” said Katie Muckenhirn, ACE Vice President of Public Affairs.

The conference provides two days of general sessions, including updates from ACE leadership, and topics like new uses and markets for ethanol producers, the retail marketplace for E15 and E85, farm-to-biofuel carbon market opportunities, and trade developments. The conference also offers breakout sessions with subjects covering the latest in technology updates, strategic planning advice, as well as ways for ethanol plants to lower their carbon score and raise profitability.

This year’s event also includes the option to attend the Minnesota Twins versus Texas Rangers game on the evening of August 24, which Muckenhirn says they hope will be a fun time for all. “Registration rates rise here August first and we encourage everyone to lock in those rates and register as soon as they can,” she said.

The ACE Conference will be held August 23-25, at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center. Click here for more information and registration.
