Nebraska Ethanol Board joins Gov. Pillan for proclamation signing
“The Nebraska Ethanol Board is grateful for Governor Pillen’s support and for our legislative partners who champion ethanol at both the state and federal level,” said Nebraska Ethanol Board Executive Director Ben Rhodes. “But we’re not just celebrating this month. We remain committed to advocating for ethanol every day, ensuring Nebraska remains at the forefront of renewable fuels.”
As the nation’s second-largest ethanol producer, Nebraska’s ethanol plants produce over 2 billion gallons annually. The industry supports thousands of high-quality careers across the state, including directly creating 1,800 jobs with average salaries near $80,000 each year between 2021 and 2023. Overall, the economic impact of ethanol in Nebraska is more than $6 billion per year.
