South Carolina Ethanol Workshop
Improving rural economy while meeting federal air regulations. September 21, 2000
9:00 am to 4:30 pm Adam's Mark Hotel
1200 Hampton Street
Columbia, South Carolina Workshop Sponsors:
U.S. Department of Energy Regional Biomass Energy Program
The purpose of the workshop was to explore opportunities and emerging technologies for production of ethanol from non-traditional cellulose feedstocks, as well as traditional feedstocks (grain). Cellulose feedstocks include local resources such as crop and forestry residues and dedicated energy crops. Economic development and the marketplace was discussed along with environmental significance and policy issues.

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.
