Farm to Fuel Presentations

Presentations from the 2007 Farm to Fuel Summit in Florida are now available on-line at floridafarmtofuel.com. Among them is “Today’s U.S. Ethanol Industry” - Matt Hartwig, Renewable Fuels Association.

All of the power point presentations from panels on Advancing the Science of Bioenergy, Business of Bioenergy, Biomass Resources/Feedstocks in Florida, and Renewable Energy Technology Grants Program are available, as well as the presentation on “25x’25 – America’s Energy Future” and more.

One speaker who did not have a power point was Florida’s Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, who talked about what ethanol can mean for the economy of Florida. “I am most concerned about the economic well-being of our state,” said Sink. “If we take advantage of these opportunities, then perhaps we have a chance that we all won’t be living in a state that is covered up with concrete and rooftops.” Sink says she will be working with the governor and his cabinet to find ways to support and provide incentives for biofuels development in Florida.
