JOHNSTON, IOWA – Gov. Ron DeSantis and Gov. Asa Hutchinson will join the lineup of featured guests at the 2024 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit on January 11, 2024. They are expected to share their “biofuels vision” with the crowd of farm and biofuels leaders. Every caucus year, the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association invites candidates actively campaigning in Iowa to speak at the annual Summit. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

“Our crowd of biofuels producers and supporters, policy experts and renewable fuels leaders always enjoys hearing from national leaders about their vision for biofuels,” said IRFA Marketing Director Lisa Coffelt. “As they campaign in Iowa, candidates quickly learn how large of an impact biofuels have on Iowa’s rural communities and our national energy security.”

During the caucus season, IRFA has supported Biofuels Vision 2024, a coalition of Iowa organizations and citizens tracking candidates’ stances on eight issues vital to the future of biofuels and the Iowa economy. Neither IRFA nor the coalition endorse or rank candidates. Stay up to date by following @BiofuelsVision on X, previously known as Twitter.

The 2024 Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit will explore how to “Chart Our Course” for the future of biofuels. The summit will be held on January 11, 2024, at the Prairie Meadows Event Center in Altoona, Iowa. Register and find more information at IowaRenewableFuelsSummit.org.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association represents the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry and works to foster its growth. Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production with 42 ethanol refineries capable of producing 4.5 billion gallons annually – including 34 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity – and 11 biodiesel facilities with the capacity to produce 410 million gallons annually.
