Learn about some of the latest advances in research for corn-based and cellulosic ethanol

Leading experts in ethanol production will review some of the newest commercial technologies that will help put ethanol producers on the leading edge of efficiency and profitability.

Join these ethanol industry experts at BIOFUELS JOURNAL'S Commercial Ethanol Technology and Research Workshop to be held Oct. 29-30 at the Decatur Conference Center in Decatur, IL.

Presentations will focus on how to improve an ethanol plant's bottom line with the newest technologies available, such as displacing natural gas for energy savings, fractionation and adding new co-products to your revenue stream.

A tour of Archer Daniels Midland’s biofuels research center in Decatur will culminate the first day of the two-day event.
