In South Korea, recently the US Grains Council attended the Busan International Motor Show, where Haksoo Kim, USGC director in South Korea, and Youngjin Lee, USGC administrative manager, operated a promotional booth on behalf of the organization. After the 2020 event was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the biennial event this year featured 3,000 booths from 10 different countries. The event is an opportunity for the Council’s Korea office to advocate for a renewable fuel standard (RFS) in that country and builds on participation earlier in the year with the Indy 500 and the recent Seoul International Symposium, Biofuels in a Climate Crisis and Carbon Neutral Era.
