The NCGA Land Use and Carbon Impacts of Corn-Based Ethanol Conference is underway here at the Renaissance hotel by the St. Louis airport. This is our first panel discussion on “Emission Factors and Land Use Change Modeling” which is being moderated by Geoff Cooper, Renewable Fuels Association. We’re talking some very involved talks on things like Lifecycle Greenhouse Gas Analysis, Measuring Indirect Land Use from Biofuels, Analysis of the RFS and more.

This conference is dealing with some issues that are vitally important to everyone in agribusiness and I will be conducting some interviews with our panelists and presenters this afternoon and will be posting them in coming days.

Although I’m shooting photos with my Nikon, I’m also making a photo album of iPhone photos which you can find here: NCGA Land Use Conference Photo Album
