New ethanol Fact Book available

Published by the Clean Fuels Development Coalition and distributed through the Ethanol Across America campaign in cooperation with the Nebraska Ethanol Board, the Ethanol Fact Book addresses the ethanol tax incentive, energy security and oil import reductions, economic impacts and benefits to the U.S. Treasury, greenhouse gas reduction and environmental benefits, and advancements in cellulose conversion technologies. Developments in flexible fuel vehicle production and high level blends are also addressed.  Download the 2010 Ethanol Fact Book from the Nebraska Ethanol Board website here.

 U.S. Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) Co-Chair of the Ethanol Across America campaign said, "As Congress continues its work on an energy bill it is essential that it will continue to support and enhance our nation’s use of renewable fuels.  Ethanol supports our efforts to create jobs, stimulate the economy, reduce the use of oil, and improve the environment.  Through the Ethanol Across America education program, we are getting the facts out and believe when people understand the wide range of benefits ethanol provides they will continue to support it.  The Clean Fuels Development Coalition has done a tremendous job in educating the public about this issue through this fact book.

Todd Sneller, administrator of the Nebraska Ethanol Board, said the Ethanol Fact Book  covers only part of ethanol’s many positive contributions. “The ethanol industry has created thousands of jobs and over $63 million in tax revenue right here in Nebraska,” said Sneller. “This is a success story that’s been repeated all over the U.S.  as the Ethanol Fact Book makes clear.”
