Dear Colleague,
The rules of the biofuels game are rapidly changing. With the new blending mandates prescribed by the Energy Independence & Security Act come new risks and new opportunities for ethanol and biodiesel marketers, traders, end-users and producers.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is setting ever-larger blending targets and for the first time, setting minimums for biodiesel and advanced biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol.
OPIS Executive Education Series proudly presents its next Ethanol & Biodiesel Management University course, November 19-21, 2008 in Chicago — the first biofuels conference after the nation chooses its next President and new EPA leadership prepares to take the reins of environmental policy!
What’s decided now will hold sway over biofuel markets for the next decade and a half.
Make your plans today to join us for this intense three-day program on how to purchase, handle, hedge and manage your renewable fuels, and discover from our expert instructors which fuel technologies present future opportunity. Register before September 26th and save $200!
With rapidly changing regulatory requirements and commodity markets, there is no better time to learn how to respond to the new opportunities and obligations. Tax incentives combined with federal and state mandates present avenues of arbitrage as well as barriers to the ebb and flow of product. Transportation, storage and dispensing logistics also play a part in shaping the ethanol and biodiesel marketplace.
This training course has been researched and developed to give you a clear understanding of how biofuels fit into your business profile and how to best take advantage of the market to improve your competitive edge.
With over 200 years of combined experience, our instructors are the best and the brightest in the industry. You’ll walk away with a complete and unbiased behind-the-scenes picture of how biofuels are moved so you can better navigate the economics behind the prices your supplier offers.
Don’t delay. Seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign up now and take advantage of the steepest discount available — pay only $1,995 when you register before September 26th! I look forward to seeing you in Chicago.
Sincerely,
Spencer Kelly
Conference Chair
OPIS Ethanol & Biodiesel Editor
