2014 National Biodiesel Conference & Expo sets the stage for success
March 8, 2014
BY NBB Staff
More than 1,100 members of the biodiesel industry joined forces in San Diego at the 2014 National Biodiesel Conference & Expo in late January. Attendees celebrated another year of record growth with more than 1.8 billion gallons of biodiesel produced in 2013, while at the same time waging a battle against the U.S. EPA volume proposal for the 2014 renewable fuel standard (RFS).
While the future of the industry and the RFS was a major focus, the conference was full of rich content, inspiring speakers, and numerous networking opportunities. None of it would have been possible without the support of conference sponsors, exhibitors, attendees, and NBB governing board members who helped make the 2014 National Biodiesel Conference & Expo one of the best ever. Those who weren’t able to attend can find stories, pictures, interviews, and recaps of conference activities at www.blog.biodieselconference.org
And don’t forget to save the date for the 2015 National Biodiesel Conference in Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 19-22, at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
