Vital is a quarterly magazine—with an online component—focusing on the thought leadership one expects from the largest, most forward-thinking ethanol producer. A unique publication in the industry, Vital is putting a face on the ethanol industry. Throughout 2008, Vital will base its editorial features on four main themes:

• The future of ethanol
• Community profiles
• Industry information
• Environmental advancements

The ethanol industry is coming of age. Leading that industry means leading the way to an energy-independent, climate-friendly future. These are exciting times for both the ethanol industry and POET. Vital is a thought-provoking magazine with the energy, dynamism and ideas that leaders search for.
