As biofuels continue to have a larger impact on today-s fuel supply, this one-day workshop explores the role that biofuels, and particularly ethanol, play in the energy marketplace. This course examines the industry at all points throughout the supply chain, allowing course participants to better understand how biofuels are created, marketed, distributed and utilized within the fuel supply. Additionally, this workshop explains the importance that government regulation has played, and will play, in defining this industry. Often, the companies that are required to utilize biofuels are limited in their experience dealing with the intricacies of the biofuels market, as it differs from refined products.This workshop will bridge the gap between farmer and oilman, allowing the participant to better understand these unique and evolving commodities.
- Introduction to Renewable Energy: Resources, Technology and Commercial Opportunity - REN
-
This four-day course is designed to introduce participants to renewable energy and its role in the world’s energy complex. Renewable sources of consumed energy are identified and outputs compared to conventional sources. The course continues with examinations of the technologies, applications, current limitations, and future possibilities of renewable energy sources. Participants will gain perspectives and insights into the opportunities and challenges presented by renewable energy sources. To augment lecture materials, each day will include discussion topics generally focused on renewable energy realities in various countries as well as morning and afternoon delegate exercises.

- A Biofuels Overview - BF0
-
This course provides an introduction to biofuels. Presentations include new process technologies and feedstocks, specifications, performance, environmental aspects plus so-called "second generation" biofuels. These aspects and advances in engine technology have combined to present a range of potential problems in storage, handling and use. These difficulties need to be understood if the potential of this developing market is to be fully realised. Current and future challenges faced by the motor manufacturers, oil and additive industries will also be addressed. Throughout the two days emphasis will be placed on both the practicalities of biofuels and their real contribution to mitigating global warming.

- Overview of the Ethanol Market - OEM
-
This JUST-IN-TIME course was created in response to growing interest in the ethanol (biofuels) market as it continues to make headlines. A federal mandate to provide a 10% gasoline-blend by 2011 is paving the path for ethanol to become a mainstay of the American energy equation. Major oil companies are now embracing it and addressing the logistics and resources required to refine, blend, store, transport, and trade it vis-à-vis other refined products in their portfolios. Furthermore, ethanol is already widely available at the pump in markets like Brazil and with renewed worldwide focus as new technologies are identified, all interested parties need to dial up their foundational knowledge.
