POET's Policy Voice

America's Leading Voice for the Bioeconomy

As the world’s largest producer of biofuel and a global leader in sustainable bioproducts, our company has led efforts to expand America’s bioeconomy and support sound public policy for more than 35 years.

As part of that mission, POET works with policymakers across the political spectrum to support jobs and economic growth in rural communities, protect U.S. energy security, and expand markets and consumer access to low-cost, low-carbon, bio-based products.

Our efforts include bipartisan engagement in Washington and all 50 states, where POET works to provide solutions to the world’s toughest challenges:

• Creating markets for surplus grain and supporting investment in rural communities
• Increasing domestic energy production and independence
• Driving competition at the pump to lower fuel prices
• Replacing toxic fuel additives with cleaner bioethanol to improve air quality
• Capturing CO2 to further reduce the carbon intensity of biofuels and increase farm revenue
• Incentivizing continued innovation and investment in sustainable farming practices

Advancing Policies to Better Our World

POET continues to inform policymakers about opportunities to advance the bioeconomy and help fuel and feed the world. We work to build broad bipartisan support for policies that are good for the economy, good for rural communities, and good for the environment. These include:

• Reducing regulatory roadblocks limiting year-round access to lower-cost E15
• Growing the market for American-made biofuels through a strong Renewable Fuel Standard
• Ensuring that rural America can access incentives designed to promote jobs and investment in clean energy
• Adopting regulations to expand markets for low-carbon biofuels and improve environmental sustainability
• Unlocking global markets for American biofuels and feed products
