Source: Renewable Fuels Association news release
The Renewable Fuels Association released its 2025 Ethanol Industry Outlook and Pocket Guide today as a kickoff to the 30th annual National Ethanol Conference, taking place this week in Nashville. The annual publications serve as the go-to source of ethanol industry information, facts, and statistics, and follow the NEC theme of “Back to Our Roots.”
In 2025, RFA will join with ethanol producers and farmers across the country to celebrate the 20-year anniversary of the Renewable Fuel Standard, the most transformative and influential public policy in our industry’s long and storied history, notes RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper in his introduction to the report.
“But we’ll do more than simply commemorate the successes of the RFS over the past two decades,” he said. “We’ll also use this opportunity to remind a new administration and new Congress that the health and welfare of America’s family farms is directly and inextricably tied to the health and welfare of America’s biofuels industry. We’ll share the lessons learned from our rich history. We’ll go back to our roots. … It’s time to turn to renewable fuels once again to lift up rural America and secure our energy future.”
Since 2001, the annual Outlook publication has provided policymakers, regulators, consumers, the media, and renewable fuel advocates with key statistics, trends, insight, and analysis on the latest developments in the U.S. ethanol industry, as well as commentary on what to expect in the coming year. The publication is recognized worldwide as the go-to source for ethanol industry facts, while also featuring a detailed fold-out listing of every fuel ethanol plant in the country, along with production capacity. The Pocket Guide to Ethanol contains much of the same information as the Outlook, but in an abbreviated format and smaller size for ease of use.
