The Minnesota BioFuels Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and representing the renewable fuels industry, with a strong focus on ethanol. The non-profit company is based in Minneapolis, MN. Established in 2011, the association supports environmental sustainability, economic growth, consumer fuel savings, and energy independence by advocating for biofuels through public policy engagement, education, and industry collaboration. It provides information on ethanol producers, their capacities, and co-products such as dried distillers grains, corn oil, and CO2, which are used as animal feed and inputs for biodiesel and other industries. The association emphasizes ethanol’s renewable nature, cleaner emissions compared to gasoline, cost-effectiveness, and support for rural economies. It promotes higher ethanol blends like E15 and E85, offering resources such as a biofuel station locator, an E15 handbook for retailers, and educational materials for consumers and educators. The association’s website offers resources on ethanol facts, economic and environmental impacts, public policy, advocacy efforts, industry news, events, and counters misinformation about biofuels while supporting engagement with regulatory agencies.
