Year-Round E15 Could Create Major New Market for US Corn, Growth Energy CEO Says

Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor says that making E15 available year-round could create a major new market for U.S. corn, creating significant additional demand and benefiting both farmers and consumers.

Skor argues that corn growers are looking for markets rather than direct assistance and see ethanol as an opportunity to build a stable and permanent marketplace for U.S. commodities.

Potential demand for U.S. corn could increase by 2.4 billion bushels if the entire U.S. gasoline market moved to a 15% ethanol blend, Skor said.
