Florida is continuing to move forward with
efforts to promote the production of renewable energy, including
ethanol made from agriculture waste and other woody products.
Florida Agriculture and Consumer Services
Commissioner Charles H. Bronson kicked off the 2007 Farm to Fuel
Summit on in July, bringing together hundreds of industry leaders
in agriculture, petroleum, academia, financial institutions and
government who want to make Florida a leader in the production of
renewable energy.
The summit included presentations on such
topics as “Cellulosic Ethanol” and “Biofuels for
Consumers.”
“The public wants and deserves to
have access to reasonably priced fuels that do not harm the
environment,” Bronson said.
Participants heard about where Florida
currently stands with alternative fuel production facilities, the
latest production technologies and presented ideas for the future
direction of renewable fuels in this state.
“I think by bringing together the
best minds from the various industries that can make that happen,
Florida can be a model for other states,” Bronson said.
