As the price of petroleum continues to increase to unprecedented levels (>$100/barrel), availability of economically feasible alternative oil feedstocks will be essential to reduce price variability of oleochemicals and alternative fuels. Several Industrial Oil Products Division awards will be presented during the meeting. The SDA/NBB Glycerine Innovation Award, The Student Award, and the Ralph Potts Memorial Fellowship.
