Course description
Overview of the Ethanol Market is an online training course created in response to growing interest in the ethanol (biofuels) market as it continues to make headlines.
A federal mandate to provide a 10% gasoline-blend by 2011 is paving the path for ethanol to become a mainstay of the American energy equation. Major oil companies are now embracing it and addressing the logistics and resources required to refine, blend, store, transport, and trade it vis-à-vis other refined products in their portfolios.
Furthermore, ethanol is already widely available at the pump in markets like Brazil and with renewed worldwide focus as new technologies are identified, all interested parties need to dial up their foundational knowledge.
