During the American Ethanol 200 presented by Enogen (NASCAR Truck Series Race) in Iowa last week, Syngenta announced today that it will donate approximately $600,000 to the Prime the Pump Fund.
Prime the Pump is an ethanol industry initiative created to help the early retail adopters of high-level ethanol blends by awarding grants to reduce their initial investment in infrastructure.
The Syngenta donation is part of a commitment initiated in 2013 to contribute $1 to the ethanol industry for every acre planted with Enogen corn enzyme technology– and is being extended through 2016.
We discussed Syngenta’s sponsorship of the truck race and its donation to the Prime the Pump Fund with Chris Tingle, head of marketing for Enogen. Tingle also provided an update on Enogen, the industry’s only corn bioengineered specifically to enhance ethanol production.
