Moving to second generation ethanol production is obviously a priority for the nation’s ethanol producers.

A significant number of the workshops scheduled for the 2008 Fuel Ethanol Workshop next week in Nashville focus on different aspects of cellulosic ethanol production development.

Workshops titles include “Cellulose Technology Update,” “Alternative Feedstocks,” “Cellulose Technology Components,” “Enzyme Technology: Cellulose,” and “Cellulose Biorefining.”

This is the 24th year for FEW, which is the premier networking and educational conference for the ethanol industry. It will be held June 16-19 at Opryland Resort in Nashville.
