Bradley Krohn is the President and Chief Technical Officer of U.S. EnviroFuels. His vision is to capitalize on an untapped ethanol market in Florida and the southeastern U.S. using conventional and alternative ethanol feedstocks. Dr. Krohn is an expert in the areas of ethanol production technology, ethanol production quality control and biological engineering of ethanol production systems.

Prior to founding United States EnviroFuels, LLC, Dr. Krohn was employed by Monsanto Company in St. Louis, Missouri for 12 years in several advanced technology lead positions related to the development of agronomical-improved transgenic crops. While at Monsanto, Dr. Krohn was charged with the task of improving the starch content quality of crops such as corn, wheat, and potatoes. During his last three years at Monsanto, Dr. Krohn directed the technology platform for the company’s BioEnergy Program. This initiative developed, characterized, and validated 'High Fermentable Corn' (HFC) hybrids for the dry grind corn ethanol industry. HFC hybrids give greater yields of ethanol per bushel of corn and have been successfully adopted by over 40 dry grind ethanol plants. Dr. Krohn managed several large scale HFC hybrid validation trials with seven different commercial ethanol plants. In doing so, he gained on-site exposure to the operations of corn ethanol plants, the evaluation of ethanol plant efficiencies, and the management of plant quality control and production yields.

Realizing his ambition to become an ethanol producer, Dr. Krohn voluntarily vacated his position at Monsanto in October of 2003. Initially, he consulted in the application of high power ultrasonics for the ethanol industry before he became co-founder of USEF in 2004. Dr. Krohn's goal is to capitalize on an untapped ethanol market in Florida and the southeastern United States by using alternative ethanol feedstocks. Dr. Krohn is an expert in the areas of ethanol production technology, ethanol production quality control, and biological engineering of ethanol production systems.

Dr. Krohn received his B.A. in biochemistry from Williams College (Williamstown, MA), and received his Ph.D. in genetic engineering of industrial enzymes and industrial fermentative microorganisms from the University of Florida (Gainesville, FL). He has held a life-long passion for the commercial application of biotechnology and applied microbiology in order to provide enhanced consumer benefits in an environmentally-sound fashion. Dr. Krohn also shares a commitment with the rest of the USEF management team to reducing the United States’ dependence on foreign oil. He is the brother of Jeffrey T. Krohn.
