“All Things Considered: Pros and Cons of Biofuels” workshops scheduled
You’re Invited to “All Things Considered: Pros and Cons of Biofuels” workshops Tuesday, October 7th in Miles City and Thursday, October 9th in Wolf Point. Workshops will be presented in these two locations by Ethanol Producers And Consumers (EPAC) to explore the pros and cons of biofuels and the co-products. Partners with EPAC are Miles Community College in Miles City and the Great Northern Development Corporation in Wolf Point.
Montana citizens who are interested in ethanol and biodiesel, whether it is for consumers or for business, or for biofuel degrees and opportunities in Montana are invited to “All Things Considered – the Pros and Cons of Biofuels”. This is an opportunity to learn about the availability and use of biofuels and its co-products.
Topics that will be covered include Food VS. Fuel; the Environmental Impact of Biofuels; the Use of Biofuels in vehicles; the Availability of Biofuels and Biodiesel in Montana; Crop diversification – can it be done; Biofuel education and degrees in Montana and the Renewable Fuel Standards 2008 and beyond.
The workshops will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at both locations. Workshops will feature speakers that present the pros and the cons of renewable fuels. A legislative and candidate’s forum will take place from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. at each location to provide Montana legislative candidates the opportunity to present their views of biofuels and the biofuel industry in Montana.
On-site registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. The cost per participant for the workshop is $5 for materials. Workshop attendees will receive a packet of resource and educational materials to take home from the event. Lunch will be provided courtesy of EPAC.
