ETHANOL MAY BE NEXT BIG AG EXPORT
Nov. 30, 2015
BrownfieldAgNews reports:
Nebraska farmer and chairman of the US Grains Council (USGC) Alan Tiemann says his organization is working to make ethanol "the next big thing" for US exports.
"We have an established relationship around the world in DDGs," he says. "Ethanol is just the next step in moving corn as a value added product around the world."
Tiemann tells Brownfield ethanol doesn't just add value to the US corn crop, it also provides an opportunity for heavily populated cities around the world to reduce their pollution.
"We see places like China and India as huge prospects for the clean air side of ethanol," he says. "When we look at the pollution in some of these majorly populated cities around the world - ethanol can be a great benefit to those cities. We see an opportunity not only to utilize ethanol - but to clean the air."
He tells Brownfield USGC is partnering with USDA's Foreign Ag Service to promote US ethanol. "We are boots on the ground, around the world, showing them the benefits of ethanol," he says.
"Where it can be used, how to ship it, and where to buy it. We're really the grassroots effort in a lot of places to get the ethanol market established.
