    Building Trust and Standards Across the Ethanol Value Chain

    Recorded live at the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in St. Louis, this episode brings together four leaders shaping the future of clean fuel data and collaboration. Host Jeff Schreiner (Cultura Technologies), is joined by Jay Weber (CreditCrop), Andy Jenks (Verdova), and Clay Sellmeyer (Verdova) for a candid conversation about what it really takes to align an industry around a shared outcome. The group digs into why data is the biggest hurdle in the 45Z and low-carbon fuel space, and how the Clean Fuel Credit Consortium (CFCC) was built to solve it. Topics include the challenge of cooperation among companies that compete and partner at the same time, how fragmented farm data gets turned into audit-ready, defensible information, the often-overlooked role commercial retailers play in the traceability chain, and what farmers stand to gain. It's an on-the-ground look at how trust, standardization, and collaboration across producers, data providers, and buyers are turning verified farm data into monetizable value for the entire ethanol supply chain.
