US Biodiesel Conference
Position Yourself to Excel
At first glance, the modern market for US biodiesel has seen better days, but a closer look shows a unique opportunity for producers to prosper. Many plants are considering re- opening, refiners are weighing their options to build or buy, and lawmakers continue to keep their hand in the game.
And why shouldn’t they? With the new Renewable Fuels Standard in place, the retroactive biodiesel tax credit, the price of Renewable Identification Numbers, the 800 million gallon production mandate and emerging feedstock, those in the industry have an opportunity
to revive this most innovative and fast-paced business. Additionally, if more states follow Iowa’s tax credit lead, producers nationwide may have their ambitions to renew operations realized sooner than expected.
Yet preparation for these changes raises many questions. Where is the US market headed? How will new feedstock affect profits? How close are we to large-scale commercialization? What do these mandates mean for the US market? What technology will be needed? ACI’s national conference on US Biodiesel will explore these questions through case studies from the most innovative producers and blenders in the nation. As those in the industry gear up for increased production, where do you fit in the current and future biodiesel industry?
Join us October 12-14, 2011 in Houston, TX for ACI’s US Biodiesel Conference, and hear from growing and nationally recognized biodiesel producers and blenders that are positioned
to capitalize on the current market, meet government mandates and increase productivity. This three-day national conference will bring together decision-makers from across the United States featuring case studies on government policy, project management, finance and marketing trends in this ground-breaking industry. Register today for this unique networking opportunity to realize your product potential and raise your stake in the biodiesel industry.
What is not advanced about biodiesel? It remains a fairly sublime fuel, and has a stable, low-cost processing technology that is well understood and financeable.
