Biofuels: The Promise of the Next Generations

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

2:00 pm EST/11:00 am PST

  • Sponsored By

Biofuels are one of the only commercial alternative to petroleum. While 1st Generation biofuels like corn ethanol and soy biodiesel sparked the “food vs. fuel” controversy, the 2nd wave of biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol, algae, and other exotic ones bypass the issue. These advanced biofuels are on the cusp of commercialization. Biofuels: The Promise of the Next Generations webinar will discuss the latest developments in the advanced biofuel space and introduce three leading companies and R&D institutions in it.  The webinar will cover questions such as:

• What is the difference between 2nd and 3rd Generation biofuel processes?
• How important are feedstock choices and location of plants?
• What are the challenges and opportunities for mass commercialization of advanced biofuels going forward?

All live attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the white paper: "Transitioning from 1st Generation to Advanced Biofuels" written by moderator Joshua Kagan.
