This weekend (August 26-28), join Growth Energy, The Bachelor’s Chris Soules and WomenAutoKnow’s Audra Fordin at the Southern Women’s Show in Charlotte, North Carolina to hear about how biofuels – like ethanol – are keeping our air cleaner, cars performing better and wallets a little heavier. More importantly, learn how North Carolinians can soon benefit from higher blends of ethanol at Sheetz gas stations around the state. Soules and Fordin will be giving a special presentation on Saturday, August 27 at 3:00pm and the Novozymes Zymobile (a car that runs on blends of biofuels will make an appearance) – don’t miss out!

Fuel What Matters: 2.0

Leave a comment

Fuel What Matters is back and better than ever.  Our brief bit of radio silence gave us a chance to listen to our stakeholders and develop a new website that is more useful and interactive than ever before.  As you can probably tell, we’ve incorporated a lot of new and exciting features to help connect website visitors with the clean transportation options that are best for them.  On top of that, we wanted everyone to get a taste of what was going on in the clean transportation industry across our state.  That’s what our new ‘featured content’ section allows us to do.  We can now use this space to cover any and all clean transportation events and activities that are taking place from border to border in North Carolina.  Aside from the new ‘featured content’ section, we’re also excited to announce a new clean transportation commitment widget!  This tool allows visitors to the website to show off their use of clean transportation technologies to everyone else visiting the website. In return for ‘committing’ to use clean transportation, visitors will receive free Fuel What Matters swag in the mail.  To find out more about the new and improved Fuel What Matters, check out the website for yourself or contact Matt Abele, mrabele@ncsu.edu.
