Renewable Fuels Panel Discussion

From producers to investors to industry researchers, increasing attention is focused on the role of renewable fuels, such as biodiesel and ethanol. Industry experts will discuss the impact of these technologies, how they will affect other agribusinesses and what’s coming on the horizon.

SPEAKERS:

They own and operate a number of facilities in different areas of the USA as well as in Europe.

Mr. David Sparks
Regional Manager, CoBank

Think biofuels are small business? Think again! CoBank is one of the largest, if not the largest, financing organization of this rapidly expanding industrial use of farm products.
