Bob now serves as a senior strategic advisor for SABR.
Bob Dinneen and Joe Jobe served as the leaders of the biodiesel and ethanol trade associations respectively and together during the same two decades. The two led their respective pioneering biofuel industries from their nascent beginnings to the multi-billion dollar low carbon transportation industries they are today. They forged a powerful alliance and bond between biodiesel, ethanol, and agriculture to develop the underlying policies that are the foundation of the biofuels markets to this day. They have reunited under SABR to continue their support of biodiesel, ethanol, agriculture, and truck stop operators who have invested in the infrastructure to deliver the low carbon energy, rural development, and green jobs that these fuels provide every day.
