Biofuels: The Promise of the Next Generations

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.

The U.S. PV Market in 2010 and Beyond: Challenges, Opportunities, and Improving Fundamentals

The American PV market will face a year of transition and opportunities in 2010. Financing limitations coupled with a fall-off in consumer demand made 2009 a difficult year for many in the PV industry. Only the strongest companies with the highest-quality product offerings were able to take advantage of these challenging circumstances. In this exclusive webinar, Trina Solar and GTM Research will discuss how easing financial constraints, the influx of stimulus money and strengthened interest from the states and utilities at the forefront of the solar market provide the backdrop for rapidly improving industry fundamentals in 2010. Key to this improvement is the ability of manufacturers to design and sell competitively priced, high quality PV technologies that work for residential, commercial, industrial and utility-scale projects. Using exclusive research and analysis from GTM Research, this webinar will also highlight the states and utilities that will lead the U.S. market in 2010 and analyze how falling project costs will continue to shift the market landscape towards low-cost technology providers.
