JOHNSTON, IOWA – Renewable fuels producers are constantly innovating and seizing new opportunities. At the 2021 Virtual Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit, leading experts, including former Ambassador to China Terry Branstad, will discuss how export markets might help increase biofuels demand and what is driving biofuels producer investment decisions. The January 26 virtual Summit is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
“We are excited to hear from Ambassador Branstad and other industry experts at the Iowa Renewable Fuels Summit as we delve into what new trade and investment opportunities may open up around the globe or here at home,” said Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw. “Biofuels plants have always been good at adapting and innovating and today is no different. Join the Summit to learn from those on the cutting edge.”

It’s human nature to do what we’re comfortable with.
I played tennis growing up. I distinctly remember my dad ripping from my grip a junior-sized tennis racket when I was a freshman in high school.
I was almost six feet tall, and that racket was way too small for me. It held back my progress.
But it felt so comfortable to me that I couldn’t imagine switching to anything else.
I eventually endured the discomfort of transitioning to a bigger racket. And once I did, I realized my dad was right: I played much better.

There’s a renewed strength in the energy sector. Investors can capitalize on renewables with a pair of Invesco ETFs.
First up, we have the Invesco S&P SmallCap Energy ETF (PSCE). PSCE seeks to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the S&P SmallCap 600® Capped Energy Index (the “underlying index”).
The fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities of small-capitalization U.S. energy companies that comprise the underlying index. These companies are principally engaged in the business of producing, distributing or servicing energy related products, including oil and gas exploration and production, refining, oil services, and pipelines.

What a ride 2020 has been. The year started and ended on a bull run, but it was the events in between that shaped 2020: a global pandemic, spiking unemployment, monetary and fiscal stimulus from the Federal Reserve and Congress, an election year and the development of COVID-19 vaccines. All-time highs were seen for all three major indexes: the Nasdaq, Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500. So where does that leave Iowa’s publicly traded companies? Most of them took a tumble in 2020.
Six of Iowa’s 18 public companies ended the year with gains in their stock prices, led by Ames-based Renewable Energy Group Inc. with a 162.78% gain for the year. The second-highest was Ames-based Workiva Inc. with a 117.88% gain. Four Iowa companies had double-digit percentage gains.
