DOE Ethanol Workshop Series
Kansas Ethanol Workshop
Ethanol: Fueling Opportunities in Kansas
Focusing on Utilization and Production January 23, 2003
9:00 am to 4:30 pm Capitol Plaza Hotel
1717 SW Topeka Blvd.
Topeka, Kansas Fuel ethanol production in America has reached historic levels. In some states, fuel ethanol production supports rural economies. In others, fuel ethanol reduces air pollution. All across the U.S., it reduces dependence on imported oil and provides consumers with energy diversification and added fuel choice. Could Kansas tap its own resources to produce some of its own transportation fuel? What would be involved? What would be the costs and benefits? The workshop will address these questions and others.
Topics:
- National Overview The Politics and the Potential
- Ethanol in the State of Kansas
- Economic Impact of Ethanol Production
- Understanding the Markets
- Growing Marketplaces for Ethanol
Who Should Attend:

use."
