$3.25 million to support Wisconsin s ethanol producers during pandemic
After mass travel came to a near standstill in 2020, Governor Evers is allocating $3.25 million from the federal CARES Act to help the ethanol industry stay afloat in Wisconsin.
The funding is much needed after the industry nearly collapsed nationwide due to low sales of gasoline as less people drove to work and school and did not travel to visit family. Ethanol is also important for the production of dry ice by supplying carbon dioxide. Dry ice is critical to the successful delivery of some COVID-19 vaccines because of the need for extremely cold temperatures in order to keep the vaccines viable.
