Global Ethanol Summit 2025 (GES), hosted by the U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council (USGBC) and supported Growth Energy, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), BASF and USGBC members concluded Wednesday with a focus on trade and economic growth highlighting the theme, “ethanol is affordable.”
The conference allowed policy makers and buyers of U.S. ethanol and its co-products to network, participate in curated technical discussions and gain a better understanding of the needs of buyers around the world and the caliber of supply the U.S. provides.
As GES ended, nine trade teams continued the conference’s momentum by heading to corn-growing states to visit advanced farming operations, explore ethanol production plants, view terminal and port facilities and more to build their networks with U.S. suppliers, rounding out their time in the United States.
