Closing Comments From National Ethanol Conference

This year’s National Ethanol Conference is officially over and it was the greatest one ever according to Bob Dinneen, RFA President. Here he’s leading first ever panel on “The International Biofuels Market.”

Even though it has been a long couple days he says he feels great, re-charged and energized. Although we heard a lot of talk about mis-conceptions in the public about ethanol he says the industry is getting better at dealing with correcting them. He also says that he heard the ethanol industry compared to a teenager and agrees that it is a time of transition. He also said that people were leaving here today more upbeat than when they arrived.

Bob says that if anyone was here they would see that this is not a static industry but one that’s constantly evolving and solving challenges. He says that the international panel was really good and showed how we face common challenges around the world as biofuels continue to develop.
