(NAFB.com) – POET, the world’s biggest ethanol producer, celebrated several milestones in 2023. That included multiple victories on the policy front, the grand reopening of its 34th facility, and completing the first-ever bioproducts innovation center. “In 2023, our POET team worked hard to lead the charge toward the bioeconomy of the future,” says Jeff Broin, Founder and CEO of POET. Early in 2023, the company announced that it will be growing its bioCO2 capabilities with expansions at two of its bioprocessing locations. They say it’s a testament to the company’s commitment to providing a renewable CO2 solution for its customers and creating more value from every bushel of grain. POET’s government relations efforts also played a role in securing several policy-related victories during the year. Also, Nebraska passed an E15 mandate, which unlocks access to E15 at Nebraska fueling stations and provides qualifying retailers with a tax credit for every gallon sold.
