Growth Energy hosts annual biofuels summit

Biofuel trade association Growth Energy has welcomed industry leaders from across the US to Washington, DC for the 15th annual Growth Biofuels Summit (GEBS).
The summit will continue through to September 12.
GEBS is the premier advocacy event for advancing biofuels policies and securing America’s energy future.
This year, attendees will participate in more than 100 meetings on Capitol Hill, giving lawmakers and rural champions the information and support they need to drive change and progress in the bioeconomy.
The event programme also features a line-up of influential guest speakers, including keynotes from US Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and US. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) and other sessions featuring government officials and energy industry leaders.
“You aren’t just representatives of a crucial sector,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor in her welcoming remarks.
“You are ambassadors for the future that our nation deserves because what’s good for biofuels, producers and the entire bioeconomy is good for working families on a budget; good for energy security and independence; good for environmental stewardship and decarbonisation; and good for economic development in communities that need it most.”
In her keynote, Skor focused on policy priorities that deliver on values shared across the political spectrum. Those include finalising timely and accurate guidance for the 45Z tax credit, setting Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) that align with current market conditions and securing a permanent, year-round solution for E15 access nationwide.
