Ethanol Conference

The Renewable Fuels Association, better known by the acronym RFA, organizes the Ethanol Conference every year to highlight this plant based fuel source and bring together professionals in the industry. In the year 2009, the conference will be held between February 23 and February 25 in San Antonio, Texas. The registration is still open and this conference is the 14th annual that has been held by this association. Therefore you can trust the RFA when it comes to experience with ethonal fuel.


This conference is a great way for professionals in the ethanol fuel industry to network, become more educated and to even relax and enjoy themselves. In addition to the workshops and seminars which are held there is a golf tournament and continental breakfast. This is also a fantastic opportunity to explore the vibrant city of San Antonio when not attending the conference. With all of these highlights the conference should not be missed by professionals working or even investing in this industry. If you want to learn the basics of this plant derived fuel, read on for an introduction.

Ethanol is a form of alcohol contained in alcoholic beverages. It is commonly made from plants like corn, wheat and even sugarcane. In Brazil where a large percentage of citizens use ethanol sugarcane is the production material of choice. To become fuel a denaturant is added to make the ethanol unable to be consumed. Usually this denaturant is gasoline. The majority of conventional gasoline contains a small percentage of ethanol to make it burn cleaner and reduce the amount of harmful emissions. Ethanol fuel, commonly called E85, is a blend of 85 percent of ethanol and a 15 percent blend of gasoline. This fuel is compatible with FFV or flexible fuel vehicles.

Knowing the basics about the Ethanol Conference and ethanol in general before converting to this fuel or attending this conference is a must. At the conference you may also learn more about the debate going on about ethanol. Some supporters feel it is a viable alternative to gasoline while others think ethanol has its own set of disadvantages. One thing is for sure, many investors and drivers alike are waiting to see what the future of ethanol holds as an alternative to fossil fuel derived gasoline.

Genetically Engineered Stomach Microbe Converts Seaweed into Ethanol
Seaweed may well be an ideal plant to turn into biofuel. It grows in much of the two thirds of the planet that is underwater, so it wouldn't crowd out food crops the way corn for ethanol does. Because it draws its own nutrients and water from the sea, it requires no fertilizer or irrigation. Most importantly for would-be biofuel-makers, it contains no lignin--a strong strand of complex sugars ...
