What it is: An advocate for the ethanol industry, this organization has been a key player in moving to meet the Renewable Fuel Standard mandate posed by the federal government in 2005 that seeks to ensure fuel sold in the United States contains renewable sources of energy. In addition to managing ethanol issues and policy, this group offers resources to corn-to-ethanol farmers, ethanol blenders and consumers about ethanol products.

Stakeholders: Corn and biomass farmers, ethanol lobbyists, ethanol and biofuel blenders, and fuel blending enzyme producers.
