The Governors'
Ethanol Coalition recently received a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy
for information and public relations activities over the next nine months.
The Coalition's project was selected as a result of a national competition
conducted by the federal agency.
The new grant will enable the Coalition to
revise and update its web site, revise and reprint informational pieces and
update trade exhibit materials. "Nearly three-quarters
of the grant will be shared with the National Ethanol Vehicle
Coalition which is responsible for building a national 85 percent ethanol public fueling
station system," Larry Pearce, Nebraska's Coalition representative said. "America's automakers have
produced hundreds of thousands of vehicles that can run
on 85 percent ethanol. It's imperative that a fueling
system be in place to take advantage of this
opportunity."
