Rockville MD (SPX) Feb 27, 2008 Faced with skyrocketing crude oil and petroleum product prices, the U.S. has adopted its most aggressive plan yet for the increased use of ethanol and biodiesel. The job of implementing these new federal blending targets falls to refiners, importers, biofuels producers and fuel marketers who are now working through how they can comply with the new law and maintain a profit. Hear from leading experts and executives from the refining, ethanol and biodiesel industries at the 4th Annual OPIS Ethanol and Biodiesel Supply Summit, March 16-18, 2008 at the Washington, D.C.
