2002 Fuel Ethanol Workshop Award of
Excellence
At
the 2002 International Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Springfield, Illinois, the
Award of Excellence recipient was
Rodney Bothast.
The Award of Excellence is bestowed on an
individual who has completed research or
technological improvements that have contributed
in a significant way to improving the efficiency
of ethanol production. This award is presented
every other year and is more specific and
scientific in nature than the FEW
Distinguished Service Award that was first presented at the
2001 International Fuel Ethanol Workshop in St.
Paul, Minnesota.
Over the years, many individuals have
contributed to the growth and success of the
ethanol industry through technological
advancements. More often than not, they
have received little, if any, recognition for
their efforts. In 2000, that began to
change at the International Fuel Ethanol
Workshop (FEW) in Windsor, Ontario. The
first-ever Award of Excellence was presented
to Dr. Raphael Katzen.
Nominations for the Award of Excellence are
received by BBI International, then reviewed by
an 8-member Award Committee consisting of both
ethanol and research representatives. A special
presentation requires a special prize... a
beautiful cut glass award, etched with ethanol's
molecular symbol on a hand finished wooden base.
In addition, the Award of Excellence recipient
receives a check for $1,000.
