Uncertainty from EC puts the Biofuels Industry at a Tipping Point

We must unite and continue to innovate in order to succeed – Meet global biofuels leaders from across the value chain
 
Oct. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- On 17 October the European Commission will meet to propose stricter rules for biofuels sustainability, by shifting the use of biofuels from food-based biofuels towards increased use of advanced feedstock.   The full repercussions of this announcement to the industry are as yet unclear, but what is clear is that the industry must pull together to forge forward with creating a stable long term biofuels industry.

Decision makers from the global bioenergy community, across the entire industry value chain, will join together to discuss this as well as other challenges and opportunities for the industry at World Biofuels Markets Congress and Exhibition, which returns to Rotterdam on 12 – 14 March 2013.  Whether you wish to network and hear perspectives on one sector or want to get a bird’s eye view of the industry, this is the only globally attended conference that caters to every need.

Updated Agenda for 2013 - Cutting edge, in-depth agendas reflect the evolution of the biofuels industry including new full conferences on Sustainable Agriculture, Infrastructure & Downstream Water Use in Biofuels.  Extended conferences on Aviation, Sustainability, Policy & ILUC, Advanced Biofuels and Finance & Investment and fresh perspectives in Emerging Markets, Biorefinery Platforms, Algae & Aquatic Biomass, Residues & Waste BioFeedstocks, Biodiesel and Ethanol Production and Trading.  For more information on these agendas please visit www.worldbiofuelsmarkets.com/agenda
