(March 15, 2012) ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands – The World Biofuels Markets Congress & Exhibition 2012 (www.worldbiofuelsmarkets.com), Europe’s largest congress and exhibition focused on biofuels, concluded today with sessions dedicated to the up-and-coming algae industry, waste-to-fuel technologies, and the future of biorefining. Delegates heard from entrepreneurs, investors, and scientists regarding the use of macroalgae (seaweed) for fuels and chemicals, algae growth in photobioreactors, and the use of waste products such as municipal solid waste and forest residue for fuels and other bio-based products.

“Today’s sessions included fascinating presentations and thoughtful questions on advanced biofuels made from algae and waste products that are real and coming online,” said Claire Poole, Event Director, Green Power Conferences, organiser of the awards and conference. “This has been a successful week during which key connections across the industry have been made, challenging and important questions have been asked, and we have seen that the next generation of biofuels and bio-based chemicals are here.”

Elsewhere at the congress and exhibition, the onsite Green Power Academy concluded providing key insights to industry newcomers on bioenergy economics and markets, while the Biogas stream included sessions on the increased use of biomethane in the transport market. Other panels covered the emerging markets of Africa, Latin America, and Asia with speakers exploring government and private investment and sharing success stories from these growing regions of the world.

The three-day World Biofuels Markets Congress & Exhibition concluded today in Rotterdam, Netherlands, drawing more than 1,500 attendees from 80 countries and featuring 260 expert speakers covering key topics such as Aviation, Sustainability, Finance and Investment, Biofuels from Waste, and Advanced Biofuels. Co-located with the World Biofuels Markets Congress & Exhibition was the Bio-Based Chemicals and Biopower Generation conferences, which featured the leading companies and technologies within these growing sectors.
