Conference programme

This year's Bioenergy International Canada expo & conference moves to the exciting new location of Calgary, and the programme promises to be better than ever.

Last year the sector was just beginning. Presentations looked at the market potential in anticipation of new government mandates coming in this year.

Now as plants are boosting capacity and new facilities are coming online, the industry is already asking that targets are expanded and production incentives increased.

Canada's current biofuel supply will fall short when the first federal government mandate of 5% renewable content in petroleum takes effect in September 2010 and a 2% federal mandate for renewable content in diesel takes effect in 2011.

This year's conference programme will look in depth at the new projects designed to help reach these targets, as well as exploring where the fuel will be imported from in the meantime.

Presentations will also look at the importance of growing the industry sustainably, ways to mitigate new project risk, the potential of second generation technology and future feedstocks such as algae, wood and grasses, which are not yet in commercial production.
