Ethanol production has depended on farmers from the beginning. But POET Energy Public Relations Director Nathan Schock wants to be sure it’s known that the ethanol maker will depend on farmers when ethanol is made from cellulose. Schock says the company will need corn cobs to make ethanol then. He also has a lot to say about raising the cap on the ethanol blend rate for ethanol in gasoline. He says the current ten percent leaves little room for cellulosic ethanol. In addition, Schock would like to see more flex fuel vehicles on the road and more blender pumps to fuel them.
