Ethanol and Biodiesel

Dear Colleague,

Rapid changes in energy policy, agriculture economics and technology are transforming the biofuels industry. In Washington, on Wall Street, in the fields of America’s heartland and on the streets of our cities, renewable fuels are taking on a new prominence in our national energy profile. And every day, new players enter the field with the aspiration of being a part of our country’s energy solution.

OPIS Executive Education Series proudly presents its next Ethanol & Biodiesel Management University course, September 8-9, 2008 in Houston. Make your plans today to join us for this intense two-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.

Ethanol and biodiesel markets are in flux. New opportunities are coupled with new obligations. Tax incentives combine with federal and state mandates to 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 170 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 July 25th! I look forward to seeing you in Houston.

Sincerely,

Spencer Kelly
Conference Chair
OPIS Ethanol & Biodiesel Editor
