Ethanol Producer Magazine announced this week the preliminary agenda for the 2022 International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo (FEW) and co-located events taking place June 13-15, 2022, at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This year’s agenda includes three co-located events: Biodiesel & Renewable Diesel Summit, Ethanol 101, and the Carbon Capture & Storage Summit.
“The response to our call for abstracts this year was incredible,” said Tim Portz, program director. “The agendas for the International Fuel Ethanol Workshop, Carbon Capture & Storage Summit and the Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel include a broad and impressive array of industry expertise. Our agendas include everything from yeast health to the permitting of carbon sequestration of well sites. There will not be a more comprehensive collection of biofuels expertise available anywhere else in the world this year.”
The program includes nearly 120+ presentations across multiple consecutive tracks and events, including:
• Track 1: Production and Operations
• Track 2: Leadership and Financial Management
• Track 3: Coproducts and Product Diversification
• Track 4: Infrastructure and Market Development
• Carbon Capture & Storage Summit
• Biodiesel & Renewable Diesel Summit
• Ethanol 101
One registration will give attendees access to the FEW and all co-located events. Production Facilities of ethanol, biodiesel, advanced biofuels/biochemical, cellulosic ethanol, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel receive unlimited free registrations.
“We are extremely pleased with the number of companies who want to be a part of this year’s agenda,” said John Nelson, vice president of operations, marketing, and sales at BBI International. “It really demonstrates how people are excited to attend this in-person event and promote new technologies and services within the industry.”

The U.S. DOE has announced its intent to issue funding to support high-impact research and development (R&D) projects in two priority areas: sustainable propane and renewable chemicals and algal system cultivation and preprocessing.
Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., in August introduced the Renewable Chemicals Act, a bill that aims to create a tax credit to support the production of biobased chemicals.
The Chemical Catalysis for Bioenergy Consortium, a consortium of the U.S. DOE’s Bioenergy Technologies Office, has launched an effort that aims to gather community input on the development of new biomass processing facilities.
USDA on March 8 celebrated the second annual National Biobased Products Day, a celebration to raise public awareness of biobased products, their benefits and their contributions to the U.S. economy and rural communities.
