Holiday Inn Turf Hotel
Wolf Road
Albany, New York The push for cleaner diesel fuels is on. Maybe you've heard about Biodiesel or E-Diesel. Where are they available? At what price? What about performance, specifications, and logistics? Where do you go for more information?
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Fuels Development, are hosting this one-day workshop to help you answer these questions and more. This workshop will jump-start your alternative fuel or clean diesel fuel program by putting you ahead of the information curve. Make a note on your calendar!

Renewable Diesel Workshops:
NREL
Goals: ..."to educate key public officials and the general public
about biodiesel as a transportation fuel" and ..."to build state and
local coalitions that would form the nuclei of a support group that
would promote and eventually lead to local biodiesel production and
use."
Ethanol Producers'
Technical Workshops:
Perspectives from ethanol producers, production technology
providers, and government researchers. Those in attendance were
given the task of exploring the challenges and opportunities
presented by combining cellulosic ethanol streams with existing
grain streams.
US DOE Ethanol Workshop Series:
A series of one-day, state-level workshops to educate key public
officials and the general public about ethanol as a transportation
fuel.
