September 28, 2016
BY Renewable Fuels Association
The Renewable Fuels Foundation, the education and research arm of the Renewable Fuels Association, is hosting the last of five webinars on Sept. 29 focused on ethanol’s unique octane properties, its importance as a blend component in today’s gasoline supply, and its potential role as the low-carbon octane source of choice in future fuels.
The Sept. 29 webinar will focus on the economics of high-octane fuels, specifically the refining economics of producing BOBs for high-octane, mid-level ethanol blends and issues in making the transition to a higher-octane gasoline pool.
The webinar, which is being conducted by MathPro Inc., a firm specializing in technical and economic analysis of the petroleum refining sector, will be held from 11 a.m. – noon CT and is free for RFA members. The fee for non-members is $250 per session. To reserve your spot, please contact Missy Ruff at mruff@ethanolrfa.org or 202-446-1944.
Karen Anderson-Schank of RFA member company CHS has said these webinars “present an excellent opportunity to learn more about the tremendous octane benefits provided by ethanol … After participating in the first webinar, I would strongly recommend this series to colleagues in the industry.”
