Bio energy has always been an innovative industry among all renewable sectors. The importance of bio energy is also increasing rapidly in the current green focus worldwide. United States, as the leading country in bio energy development, has lead the deployment in 1st generation biofuels. Ever since, various of new feedstock and conversion technologies has pushed the industry further.
The US energy department (DOE) will provide 6.5m in federal funds to accelerate advanced biofuels research and development, and boost financing for commercial-scale biorefinery demonstration projects. The goal of these efforts is to reduce the risk of the development and deployment of these first-of-a-kind operations. These funds are expected to expedite the construction phase of these projects and ultimately accelerate the timeline for start up and commissioning.
In order to further accelerate industry development, various challenges must be addressed. Feedstock development is one of the key challenges need to be solved. Discovery of new feedstock and the advancement in bio-engineering have solved some problems such as food vs. fuel, plantation areas, oil yield etc. But the explorations of new types of feedstock and conversion technologies have never stopped. This high level executive conference will bring together regulatory officials, project developers, leading R&D experts, and investors to address the keys challenges in developing next generation biofuels as well as comparison of existing and next generation feedstock development.
- What are the impacts of growing different feedstocks on the environment?
- What are the greenhouse gas emissions from burning the finished fuel?
- What are the prices and market trends of the feedstocks?
- What are the potential yield of the biofuels?
