Our comprehensive agenda will cover the progress towards the commercialization of advanced biofuels and the innovations occurring in the industry.”
Attendees and exhibitors will include hundreds of professionals in key sectors including biofuels and biobased chemicals production; agribusiness; petroleum and petrochemical refining; pulp and paper milling; food processing; waste management; finance; aviation; government/military; research and academia.
