Energy Department Expands Access to Thriving Alternative Fuels Market

In Washington, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office recently removed barriers to domestic bioenergy production by updating its 45ZCF-GREET modeling tool to account for new feedstocks and methods of production, including ethanol from corn wet-milling and natural gas from coal-mine methane. These measures will allow a wider range of farmers and companies to do business in America’s thriving alternative fuels market.

“This is a major win for the U.S. farmer and rural America,” said Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS). “Once again, President Trump and his administration are growing markets and opportunity for farmers and rural America to flourish.”
