ACE Expands Market Development Efforts with Tradeshow Presence
The American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE) continues to connect with fuel retailers at industry tradeshows, promoting the benefits of offering E15 and higher ethanol blends at their stations.
In September, ACE Chief Strategy Officer Ron Lamberty was at the California Fuels + Convenience Alliance (CFCA) Summit in Coronado, California, following passage of California’s SB 795, the E15 Clean-Up Act, which allows retailers to sell E15 using existing gasoline storing and handling infrastructure through January 1, 2029, while state regulators complete work required by statute to approve equipment and finalize rules for permanent E15 sales. Lamberty discussed the legislation and its implementation with California fuel marketers at the event.
In October, Lamberty was joined by ACE CMO Ben Rhodes at National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, where they spoke with fuel retailers and demonstrated ACE’s E15 & Flex Fuel Cost Calculator, which uses real-time data to help retailers compare costs and potential profits from selling E15 and higher ethanol blends in their state. ACE also launched new digital ads promoting E15 to fuel retailers and directing them to the calculator to explore the potential business benefits of offering higher blends. The calculator is available at FlexFuelForward.com, ACE’s digital hub tailored to fuel marketers.
