Renewable Fuels Association President and CEO Bob Dinneen says Whikehart can provide a unique perspective of the policy and marketing forces affecting the ethanol industry today. According to Dinneen – Whikehart’s responsibilities at Marathon place him at the nexus of ethanol production and gasoline refining. Dinneen says he understands the value of ethanol to refiners and the role of consumers in determining fuel choices at the pump.
