New NACS podcast talks about ethanol trends consumers and retailers can anticipate.

October 17, 2016

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Ethanol is continuing to evolve, with new blends and feedstocks expected to fuel its growth, and an expanded distribution infrastructure that is efficient at delivering ethanol to markets throughout the United States.

Hear about some trends you can expect to see in your tank—and get some in-depth analysis of the market—in the latest NACS Convenience Matters podcast. In “Ethanol Overview,” co-hosts Jeff Lenard of NACS and John Eichberger of the Fuels Institute, talk to Kristy Moore, principal scientist for KMoore Consulting LLC, about trends related to ethanol and how it affects the overall fuels marketplace.

“For a lot of consumers, ethanol seems like a new transportation fuel, whether E85, E15 or the standard E10 blend that is in virtually every gallon of gasoline sold today. But it’s actually the fuel that was used for those first automobiles produced in the 1880s—and continues to be part of our future,” Lenard said.

The program can be downloaded on iTunes by searching for Convenience Matters. It also is available at nacsonline.com/podcasts. A new podcast is released every week, focusing on a topic related to convenience stores.
