Pinal Energy, Arizona’s first ethanol production facility, will be holding a biofuels workshop on Tusday, January 12, 2010 to assist station owners in converting stations to install biodiesel and/or E85. The workshop will be held at the Hilton Phoenix Airport.

The agenda includes: Mark Ellery from Caljet; Introduction to Biofuels by Andrea Martincic of Arizona Petroleum Marketers Association (APMA); E85 and Biodiesel Basics by Colleen Crowninshield, Clean Cities; Regulatory Requirements by Duane Yantorno of ADWM; All About Ethanol by John Skelley of Pinal Energy; Arizona’s Biofuel Conversion Program by Mark Ellery of Caljet; and Conversion of Existing Infrastructure by Brent Erikson of Cochise.
