Yesterday marks the first official day of winter! ❄️ You know what that means – colder temps (and letting your car warm up a bit before heading out in the morning!) Whether you're traveling to your holiday destination or just navigating snowy streets on your daily commute, E15 (a 15% bioethanol blend) is designed to keep your engine running smoothly while reducing harmful emissions. In fact, when you fill your tank with bioethanol, it lowers the freezing point of gasoline and protects your fuel system from extreme cold. Let's make this winter eco-friendly and efficient!

"Most people don’t realize just how much agriculture and bioprocessing touches their daily lives. There’s no question agriculture has been an integral part of our past and present — and I believe it has the potential to be an even bigger part of our future." —Jeff Broin, POET Founder and CEO Today the bioethanol industry processes 40% of the U.S. corn crop each year, creating demand for farmers and driving the value of every bushel grown on their land. But we've only begun to scratch the surface of what bioprocessing can do, which is why it’s critical that we continue to seize new opportunities for ag-based products.

“There is nothing more important in biofuels policy than E15 right now… to me, it's the holy grail. If you care about the environment, it's the right thing to do. If you care about American agriculture, it's the right thing to do." –U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson A week ago, Rep. Johnson visited POET Bioprocessing – Mitchell to discuss bioethanol and its essential role in creating a cleaner environment and supporting ag in states like South Dakota.
