Corn grows Ethanol
Did you know that farmers turn sunlight into corn and then into biofuels? That’s right. Corn-based ethanol is clean-burning, homegrown, affordable, low-carbon and readily available fuel that is the #1 fuel choice at the pump. Besides being a renewable fuel unlike petroleum-based gas, ethanol reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, decreases our dependence on foreign oil, creates jobs in our state and beyond, and revitalizes our rural communities. Iowa grows corn and corn grows ethanol.
