Asia's 1st Biomass Pellets conference in Jakarta offers Biomass buyers an opportunity to meet region's top pellets producers & suppliers.

Posted on : 26 Apr, 2010

 

The Biomass Pellets Trade Asia conference is meeting in Jakarta-INDONESIA on 27-28 September 2010. The conference, touted as the “Global Buyers & Asia Sellers Meet” is Asia’s first Biomass conference targeted at Biomass Pellet producers and biomass buyers and consumers from Asia, Europe, Americas and beyond.

 

This conference comes in response to rapidly growing global demand for Biomass (Agricultural and Forestry Residues, Energy Crops and Wood Pellets). Traditionally, biomass resources were consumed primarily in the region where they were produced, but the current trend of large-scale use of biomass energy, coupled with advances in pre-treatment technologies and transportation, is creating a need for international trade. 

 

Biomass Pellets Trade Asia will provide essential insights on Biomass Trade, covering the entire value chain for the Biomass commodity from Pretreatment to Transportation. Highlights include:

• Global wood pellets supply & demand for power generation
• Rise of agri-biomass & energy crops (palm kernel shells, EFB, coconut husk, rice husk, sugar bagasse, algae, jatropha, etc)
• Pricing & sustainability criteria for biomass
• Storage & terminal investments
• Improving handling over long haul shipping
• Merits of pretreatment technologies (densification, pelletizing, torrefactions, etc)

Biomass Pellets Trade Asia is a spin-off to the successful Biomass Trade & Power conference, which convened Top Biomass industry decision-makers, Regulators and Researchers from over 30 countries in Rotterdam on 10-11 March this year. The conference attracted sponsorship and support from the Port of Rotterdam, IEA BioEnergy Task Force 40 and the Rotterdam Biomass Commodities Network (RBCN).
