The Nebraska Ethanol Board’s mission is to establish procedures and processes necessary to the manufacturing and marketing of ethanol fuel. The board accomplishes this by: - Analyzing marketing processes and testing procedures to assure acceptance in the marketplace. - Cooperating with industry professionals to establish privately-owned agriculture ethyl alcohol plants. - Sponsoring research and development of industrial and commercial uses for ethanol and its byproducts. - Promoting state and national air quality improvement programs and influencing legislation that encourages the use of renewable fuels. - Promoting the use of renewable ethanol as a partial replacement for imported oil to ensure the energy security of the country.
