The agenda, which was gathered from biomass industry experts from around the world and rated by the conference selection committee, will give attendees the ability to hear and learn from nearly 100 industry experts and professionals on a variety of pressing topics such as best practices in dust control and fire risk mitigation; why biogas developers continue to eye food waste streams for new projects; updates on commercialization efforts in leading next-generation biofuel production technologies; how the RFS and eRINs could be a boon for biomass, biogas and waste-to-energy; and much more.
“When our technical sessions are paired with the expertise of our technology vendors, consultants and service providers exhibiting at our Expo, the International Biomass Conference & Expo is arguable the world’s largest annual ‘All Things Biomass’ event,” said Tim Portz, program developer and executive director of the Pellet Fuels Institute.
