Sustainable Energy Strategies, Inc. (SESI) works to provide a strong, vital ethanol voice to educate strategic Maryland ethanol stakeholders. SESI writes educational articles to be shared with trade organizations, state and county officials, retailers, fleet managers and Clean Cities stakeholders. SESI also works to share information with the Maryland Grain Producers on critical national ethanol developments, network with industry experts, and promote Maryland ethanol activities.
Maryland has 54 Flex Fuel stations in operation today, which is a 15 station increase from 2019. Each public station sells an estimated 800,000 gallons of ethanol annually. Therefore Maryland moved an estimated 32 million gallons of ethanol in 2020, which is estimated to be 12.5 million bushels of corn! A stronger corn demand pushes prices higher. These volumes are expected to continue to increase as more stations are being installed.
SESI has assisted the Maryland Grain Producers in ethanol advocacy and education for more than twenty years. This past year the Maryland Grain Producers funded $52,616 towards their work.
