Asia is bestowed with abundant agro-biomass resources including residues from Palm Oil, Sugar Cane, Cassava, Coconut, Wood and emerging crops such as Jatropha, Sweet Sorghum and etc. While demand for biofuels is still very much driven by regulation such as Thailand's and Philippines' fuel ethanol reforms, demand for bio-based chemicals is keenly prompted by economic drivers as well as end users' interest for green materials. To pursue this biobased economy, partnership and joint ventures have been set up between agricultural resources (feedstock) owners, technology providers and fuels/chemicals manufacturers to provide a functional marriage of feedstock supply, pretreatment and conversion technology and expertise and finally the offtake markets. However, with the uncertain global economy, is the pursuit for bio content sustainable?

CMT's Biobased Feedstock - for Fuels & Chemicals is calling for all participants in the "bio" value chain to meet in Singapore this November, to realise the theme "Sourcing & Converting Agri-feedstocks for Bio Investment".

Biobased Feedstock - for Fuels & Chemicals aims to provide expert perspectives on the availability, investment potential and initiatives' of tracking bio (plant) based feedstocks (agricultural residues & agro-biomass, etc) and its conversion to building blocks for biofuels and biobased chemicals.

CMT's Feedstock - for Fuels & Chemicalsoffers excellent opportunity to network with global and regional feedstocks and projects stakeholders in one venue!
