MIAMI, FLA. — Growth Energy, the nation’s largest ethanol trade association, began its 13th Annual Executive Leadership Conference (ELC) today, a marquee event of the biofuels industry where top ethanol industry leaders and innovators will participate in panel discussions, networking, and charity events.
Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor kicked off the event with a speech that highlighted how Growth Energy has reimagined the role the biofuels industry plays in the global transition to clean energy. From sustainable aviation fuel to carbon capture, Growth Energy’s members have made investments in fighting climate change and giving consumers access to choices that are better for the planet. This innovation, as well as updated data on ethanol’s impact on the environment, opened up doors for biofuels to have a seat at the table with the Biden Administration.
“Biofuels are the solution, and the work we are doing now will ensure that America’s ethanol industry is poised for success in a lower-carbon economy, delivering on a new wave of demand for clean energy – on the ground and in the sky, at home, and abroad, in today’s vehicles and tomorrow’s,” Skor said in her opening remarks.
“We offer what no one else can: immediate carbon reduction, with today’s infrastructure, today’s vehicles, and a sustainable supply chain that starts and stops on U.S. soil.”
