Biofuels Digest announces the list of the Top 100 People in Bioenergy.
Profiles of #1 through #20
- Tom Vilsack, US Secretary of Agriculture
- A runaway winner in the voting, Vilsack has been driving hard to implement a strong biofuels policy on behalf of the Obama Administration, and as chair of the Interagency Working Group (comprising the USDA, EPA, and DOE) has clearly been identified by the Digest readership as the key player in establishing policy stability, and pioneering the financing mechanisms to drive bioenergy forward in the 2010s.
- Jeff Broin, CEO, POET
- A number of POET execs polled strongly in the voting – but head and shoulders above the rest has been CEO Jeff Broin, who took charge of a small family ethanol enterprise in the 1980s and transformed it into the Starbucks of corn ethanol – everywhere, strongly branded, home to its own unique culture, and a pioneer both in achieving first generation scale and next-generation technical leadership as the company pioneers its Project LIBERTY cellulosic ethanol plant in Emmetsburg, IA.
