Upcoming bio-energy conferences

April 19, 2012  By Treena Hein


Two bio-energy conferences this week are examining all facets of using bio-materials to produce energy and more.
From April 24-26th, CanBio holds ‘Advancing the Bio-economy: Biomass in a Canadian Energy Strategy’ in Edmonton, Alberta. From April 23-25, The North American Waste-to-Energy Conference is running in Portland, Maine.

There is still space available at both conferences.

CanBio’s ‘Advancing the Bio-economy: Biomass in a Canadian Energy Strategy’ will explore options to develop the bio-economy, as well as the options available to the oil & gas industry, the forest and agriculture industries, the bioenergy industry and utilities to form partnerships in its development. It is part of CanBio’s plans to develop a ‘Canadian Bioenergy Strategy’ by the end of this year. CanBio says the government of Canada is currently contemplating the development of a Canadian Energy Strategy. Visit here for more.
