Call for unity in the ethanol industry

Categories: Bio Fuels,Collaboration,Events,ethanol

At the Renewable Fuels Association’s National Ethanol Conference this week, ethanol leaders from around the country meet to discuss the future of the industry.

Bob Dinneen, RFA CEO, will give the State of the Industry Address. Dinneen’s column this month, ‘Speaking with One Voice,’ calls for unity and focus.

“It is critically important that, as Congress and the country debate and decide energy policy, the ethanol industry will be speaking with one voice. That’s why the recent announcement that companies developing the next generation of advanced ethanol technologies are working together with the ethanol industry’s trade organization, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), through the formation of the Advanced Ethanol Council (AEC) is so significant.”

Imagining a future fueled by biodiesel

Categories: biodiesel

Disneyland Resort’s making biodiesel dreams come true. The parks’ 56-year-old steam-powered trains began running on biodiesel to meet California’s environmental regulations in 2007.

“The resort began to transition the trains to biodiesel, using B98. Now, most of the biodiesel used is made from recycled cooking oil from its own kitchens, and accounts for nearly 75 percent of the parks diesel consumption,” according to Biodiesel Magazine.

The National Biodiesel Board honored Disneyland and others today at the annual “Eye on Biodiesel” awards presentation at the National Biodiesel Conference & Expo in Phoenix.
