The FEW seeks expert speakers and panelists to discuss contemporary issues in ethanol and advanced biofuels. Presentation tracks include:
- Production and Operations: Biological and Mechanical Processes, Plant Control
- Leadership and Financial Management
- Coproducts and Product Diversification
- Carbon Capture and Storage
- Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel
- Ethanol 101 Seminar (preconference)
Portz also highlighted a key benefit for presenters. "Presenting at the FEW is an unparalleled opportunity to showcase technical expertise to ethanol plant professionals. Notably, registration is complimentary for producers."
The 2024 FEW will again feature the Biodiesel Summit and the Carbon Capture & Storage Summit. John Nelson, vice president of operations, sales and marketing at BBI International, remarked on the growing interest in carbon capture and storage. "Last year's high interest in this area is leading us to focus on plant infrastructure, pipeline requirements, construction, and low carbon mandates this year," Nelson said.
