Ethanol
Producers' Technical Workshop:
Building
Bridges to More Profitable Ethanol Production
Crowne
Plaza
Omaha, Nebraska
March 22, 2001 - 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
The
workshop will review upcoming cellulosic hydrolysis
technologies, current and innovative ethanol production
technologies, and new co-products. The workshop will
map out transitional strategies with the goal of discovering
effective, profitable ways to merge grain and cellulosic
ethanol production. Advantages and opportunities will
be explored, barriers and obstacles identified, and
necessary "next steps" laid out and critiqued.
Workshop attendees will be encouraged to contribute
and participate.
