COLWICH —
Kansas Association of Ethanol Processors (KAEP) has announced its endorsement of U.S. Senator Sam Brownback and State Senator Jeff Colyer, MD as the winning ticket for the Kansas Governor's office and Kansas ethanol.
"Jeff and I are honored to have the support of our state's ethanol processors. They play an important role in our country achieving energy independence effort and the effort to green America," Senator Brownback said. "We are a global leader in producing ethanol cost effectively and environmentally sound. A Brownback Administration will continue to lead in this effort."
The KAEP is the voice for the ethanol manufacturing industry. Its goal is to promote the viability of ethanol fuels and demonstrate the positive impact of the industry on the local and state economy to the public and government.
"From his days as Kansas Secretary of Agriculture, a U.S. House Member and then Senior Senator from Kansas, no other public official has done more to promote the merits of ethanol than Sam Brownback. Whereas ethanol is the future of America's fuel supply, Sam Brownback is the future of Kansas," said KAEP' Chairman of the Board Steve McNinch
He continued "Their Road Map for Kansas has an exciting, bold vision for Kansas ethanol, and the Kansas Association of Ethanol Processors is excited to partner with winning team in implementing their vision"
A key governance goal of a Brownback Administration will be to grow the Kansas Economy by promoting energy development and growth in wind power and ethanol. Senator Brownback said policies supporting ethanol are needed, such as:
- Increasing the blend ceiling on ethanol from 10% to 15% .
- Supporting an open fuels standards act that 50% of new cars sold in 2012 and beyond must be able to run on any blend of ethanol, methanol or gas.
- Qualifying milo-based ethanol as an advanced biofuel under Renewable Fuel Standards requirement.
- Research and support new systems of powering our ethanol plants by things like wind energy, crop residue or methane from cattle feed yards.
Senators Brownback and Colyer recently took part in a roundtable discussion about the ethanol industry at ICM Headquarters in Colwich as part of their Road Map for Kansas Bus Tour earlier this month.
