Managing the Competition for Biomass Feedstock

Moving away from food crops, biomass energy has now become one of the most dynamic aspects of the modern global energy market with governments around the world seeking to adapt existing renewable energy policy and regulatory structures to encourage the development of biomass to energy projects. 

Plantation owners, refiners, pulp/paper and biofuels producers are integrating biomass as part of the value chain to achieve energy efficiency and cost savings through the production of utilities, liquid fuels and other bioproducts.  Biomass provides the fuel-switching feedstock option to the power generation sector, answering to the high cost of electricity especially for those with large energy needs and the rural areas.  Lignocellulosic conversion of biomass such as corn stover to cellulosic ethanol is propelled globally as THE answer to the transportation fuels market, complementing the demand for gasoline.

Covering two major concerns of biomass to energy, thus a must attend event. Mark your calendar to be at this premier gathering of key industry players. Register with you team now!
