Because Texas has the most flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) of any state, a number of industry organizations and companies are getting together to promote ethanol in the Lone Star State next month.

Shaping Texas’ Fuel Ethanol Policy, sponsored by the Texas Renewable Energy Industries Association (TREIA), will be held on September 10 in Austin, Texas. TREIA has been bringing decision makers and industry leaders together in Texas for more than 26 years to build the foundation for developing renewable energy. “This conference offers a clear picture of today’s realities and opportunities in a growing renewable energy sector that some may have written off,” said Russel Smith, Executive Director of TREIA. “The nation’s use of ethanol will continue to increase, and Texas has huge production possibilities and more flex-fuel vehicles capable of running on E85 than any other state. Our current approach to this important industry may leave money on the table.”

Participating in the event are: Growth Energy, the Clean Fuels Development Coalition, the Renewable Fuels Association, ICM, Abengoa Bioenergy and more.
