DDGS Downstream Opportunities Session Planned For NCGA’s Corn Utilization and Technology Conference (3-24-08)

A Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) Downstream Opportunities learning session will be featured at the National Corn Growers Association’s 2008 Corn Utilization and Technology Conference (CUTC), to be held this summer in Kansas City, Mo. A panel of experts will examine the new and changing dynamics of DDGS, from their usage in fabrics to polymers and from storing to pelletizing.

The session will provide insight into the opportunities that could expand uses for DDGS as we know them today.  

“This session will discuss exciting new uses for distillers grains that will continue to add more value to ethanol plants across the country,” said session chairman Kelly Brunkhorst, agriculture program manager for the Nebraska Corn Board.    

Panelists will include Dennis Bauer, University of Nebraska—Lincoln; Kurt Rosentrater, ARS;
Chris Schilling, Saginaw Valley State University; and Yiqi Yang, University of Nebraska—Lincoln.

Scheduled for June 2-4 at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown, CUTC will emphasize the importance of identifying the next generation of technologies to sustain corn as nature’s feedstock of the future. Click here for more information, or to register or submit a technical poster.
