Ethanol 2012 Study Announced

DANVERS, Mass., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hale Group, Ltd. and its affiliates are pleased to announce a multi-client study titled Ethanol 2012 Study. This report is designed to define the key forces that will impact the U.S. ethanol industry during the next five years and to develop appropriate competitive strategies.

The Ethanol 2012 Study encompasses the leading experts from the agricultural, petroleum, public policy and technology sectors with a tight focus on the U.S. ethanol market. The Hale Group will work closely with Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA), which is led by Dr. Daniel Yergin; Clayton Yeutter, the former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture; and Dr. Bruce Dale of Michigan State University. This collaboration of experts will address the gap that exists between the agricultural and petroleum sectors in an effective manner for the first time.

"Over the next five years, the U.S. corn-based ethanol industry is going to face major strategic challenges as it becomes a more mature industry given that the commodity markets remain volatile and the government is developing policies for renewable energy and climate change," said Clayton Yeutter. "The Ethanol 2012 Study brings together a highly qualified group with the petroleum, agricultural, technology and policy expertise to develop winning strategies that respond to the challenges."
