Renewable Energy

The Iowa City area features the nation's first Wind Energy Supply Chain Campus: a 173 acre, rail-served campus located between Acciona Windpower and Clipper Windpower.

Iowa ranks first in the nation in the production of ethanol, second in the production of biodiesel and second overall in wind energy capacity.  Iowa leads the nation in the percentage of electricity generated by wind, and was presented the 2008 State Leadership Award by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) for its leadership in advancing America's wind energy industry.
