We look forward to continuing our work together to expand opportunities for American-made renewable fuels and bioproducts.”“We are excited to continue our support of the RFA by adding CIE Norfolk to it membership,” Drook said. “The RFA remains a leader within our industry, helping to defend and expand markets for our products both here and abroad.”<a href="https://ethanolrfa.org/membership/">Click here</a>&nbsp;for more information on the value of an RFA membership and&nbsp;<a href="https://ethanolrfa.org/rfa-members/">click here</a>&nbsp;for a list of current members.
