The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) will hold its 15th annual Washington, DC Fly-in and Government Affairs Summit March 17-18, bringing ethanol producers, farmers, and other stakeholders to Capitol Hill at a critical time for the industry.

“With so many ethanol priorities hanging in the balance, direct engagement with Congress and the administration has never been more important,” said Brian Jennings, ACE CEO. “Both chambers will be in session, and in an election year, timing matters. We encourage ethanol supporters to join us in Washington this March to reinforce the need for timely action on E15 year-round, 45Z clean fuel production tax credit implementation, and final Renewable Fuel Standard volumes.”

Additional priorities for the industry are proper implementation of the Renewable Fuel Standard, including reallocation of small refinery exemptions, and policies to unlock new markets for ethanol, including renewable chemicals, maritime fuels, flexible fuel vehicles, sustainable aviation fuel, and expanded trade opportunities.
