The IRFA brings together Iowa ethanol and biodiesel producers to foster the development and growth of the state’s renewable fuels industry through education, promotion and infrastructure development. IRFA is committed to making Iowa a leader in producing renewable fuels and value-added co-products.  Iowa is the nation’s leader in renewable fuels production. Iowa has 43 ethanol refineries capable of producing more than 4 billion gallons annually, including 55 million gallons of annual cellulosic ethanol production capacity.
