(September 27, 2012) Omaha - Randall J. Doyal, CEO of Al-Corn Clean Fuel in Claremont, Minnesota has been elected Vice Chairman of the Renewable Fuels Association, the group announced today. Al-Corn Clean Fuels produces 50 million gallons of ethanol annually.

Doyal is a 30 year veteran of the fuel ethanol industry, beginning his career in ethanol in 1982 with Mountain Development Corporation as a cooker and continuing on to his current position as General Manager and CEO of Al-Corn Clean Fuel and Al-Corn Limited Partnership in Claremont, Minnesota.

“The ethanol industry has grown exponentially over the past few years, and it will continue to do so thanks in large part to RFA and its members,” said Doyal. “Over the past 31 years, the RFA has been at the center of every successful policy fight and market initiative that has helped increase production, expand the marketplace for ethanol blended fuels, and encourage new technologies and advanced biofuels. I am privileged to help lead the RFA and the industry in changing how America fuels its future.”

Doyal has served on the RFA Board of Directors for six years, and has been involved in the ethanol industry since the early 1980’s. He was elected to a one-year term as Vice Chairman at the RFA’s annual membership meeting this week held in Omaha, NE.
