Ethanol is economic development
A typical 40 million gallon ethanol plant creates 32 full-time jobs and a total of 694 direct and indirect jobs throughout the entire economy. Most of these are jobs in rural areas of our nation, helping improve the economic vitality of these communities.

Additionally, as the amount of ethanol in our fuel supply increases, more of the gas money Americans spend stays in the U.S. That helps stimulate our national economy—and reduce our trade deficit.

Several studies have been completed that examine the impact of an ethanol plant on the economy. For an analysis on the economic impact of ethanol to the local community, click here.
