Multidisciplinary Efforts Two testimonials to Legislative Citizens Commission for Minnesota Resources (LCCMR). Substantial media coverage on the issue, but often with conflicting information. Two new projects: (1) from LCCMR, (2) USDA/DOE. Meeting with John Wells – various activities around the issue across MN.

Serial Meetings We’ll continually arrange integrated meetings How the issue is perceived by the expert groups? What can we do as a group of experts to better inform the general public and policy makers on water implications of biofuel development? What are the knowledge/data gaps to better understand the issue? Is there a common methodological/modeling ground for analysis?

Objectives of the Meetings Information/perspective sharing Ongoing activities by various institutions around MN. Available data and resources. Modeling frameworks. Water implications of biofuel development in general. Key knowledge/data gaps. Discuss possible consensus building Common methodological/modeling ground. The current state and the future prospects of water implications of ethanol development.

Our overall observation Water use by biofuel conversion processes does not seem to be a major threat for MN water resource at the state-level. At a local level, however, water use by biofuel plant can be a problem depending on the ground water availability and public water supply capacity of the area. Broad range of cost-effective water conservation measures should be discussed in all areas of water use (not only in biofuel conversion processes). Standardized data, model and analytical method to determine location-specific water availability will be helpful to site biofuel plants considering water availability.
