2008 Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo
June 16-19, 2008, Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, Nashville, TN

The International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo (FEW) has a long history of creating a forum for the ethanol industry to exchange valuable information and ideas to help improve ethanol production and operation. The CHP Partnership was a title sponsor of the 2008 FEW, and presented on the energy and greenhouse gas savings that CHP can provide for the ethanol industry. The Partnership maintained a booth at the workshop to explain the benefits of CHP at ethanol facilities and the EPA tools and resources available to ethanol facilities, and presented ENERGY STAR^® CHP Awards to ethanol facilities utilizing highly-efficient CHP systems during the general session.

2nd National Forum on Energy Efficiency in Agriculture — Food and Energy from the Ground Up: Efficiency's Role in Sustainable Agriculture
February 20–22, 2008, Embassy Suites Hotel, Des Moines, Iowa

For agricultural producers, food processors, energy providers, consumers, and others who are adapting to new energy realities.

This American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) conference addressed the often-heard assumption that agricultural lands will produce enough fuel and electricity to meet future energy demands. The forum explored an alternative vision where increased energy production by agriculture is accompanied by equally significant improvements in energy efficiency throughout our economy.
