IL Corn played a pivotal role in organizing the second annual Illinois Future of Fuels: Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Beyond Conference, held last week in Rosemont, Illinois. This event convened industry experts worldwide to explore sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) opportunities, particularly focusing on corn-based ethanol and the opportunity to position Illinois as a future home for the growing SAF industry. As a key stakeholder, IL Corn collaborated with the Illinois Manufacturers' Association (IMA) and other partners to facilitate discussions on SAF's potential in the United States, emphasizing the unique opportunities for Illinois and the Midwest. The conference featured panels of experts, keynote addresses, and networking sessions, fostering a comprehensive understanding of sustainable fuels.
