Nebraska ethanol producers are exploring ways to meet out of state carbon emission standards for fuels.
Fuels sold in California, for instance, are taxed on the amount of carbon produced in their creation.
Nebraska Energy Office Director David Bracht says ethanol producers are looking to stay ahead of those regulations

With more states expected to adopt carbon intensity standards, Bracht says ethanol producers in Nebraska are looking to renewable energy to cut emissions and stay competitive

Bracht says solar power has become more feasible because costs have dropped up to eighty percent
