1.29.19 - Ethanol producer POET creates corn-based asphalt alternative
'POET, the world’s largest producer of biofuels, is doing more with corn than just making ethanol these days. POET has entered the asphalt market with its newest green alternative to fossil fuel products. POET’s “JIVE” is a proprietary corn-oil-based product now being used by construction companies across the U.S. to modify or rejuvenate asphalt in roads.'
'This is the latest example of POET developing new technology to move our world toward true sustainability,” POET chief executive officer Jeff Broin said. “We must learn to utilize materials harvested from the surface of the Earth rather than pulling more crude oil from below. Every mile paved using JIVE and recycled materials helps save the planet and helps save taxpayer dollars.”'
