Biomass Magazine recently released the agenda for the 16th Annual International Biomass Conference & Expo taking place Feb. 28- March 2, 2023, at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Georgia.
“We are excited to bring the International Biomass Conference & Expo back to Atlanta, Georgia,” said John Nelson, vice president of operations, marketing & sales for Biomass Magazine. “Accounting for 10 percent of the United States’ biomass-fueled electricity generation, Georgia has become a hub for exporting wood pellets, making it a great location for our attendees. There is so much activity happening within the region.”
Attendees will be able to take in content from a variety of speakers showcasing the newest offerings in technology, services and policy.
“The response to our call for abstracts was tremendous,” said Tim Portz, program developer for BBI International. “The International Biomass Conference & Expo agenda is robust, expansive and runs the gamut of biomass-to-energy approaches.”
The speakers will discuss on a variety of topics in the biomass industry under the following categories:
