2010 Advanced Biofuels Workshop - June 14, 2010, at the America’s Center convention hall in St. Louis.

>> Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Global warming, greenhouse gas regulations, food-versus-fuel, indirect land use change, deforestation—with these critical issues in the spotlight as the U.S. drives toward energy security, there has never been a more important time for advanced biofuels.

The U.S. renewable fuel standard passed under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 defines advanced biofuel as any renewable fuel that meets a 50 percent life-cycle GHG emissions reduction from the petroleum baseline, and is not derived from corn starch. By 2022, the standard calls for 21 billion gallons of advanced biofuels to be used in our nation's fuel supply. It starts now.

Advanced biofuels include:

  • Ethanol from biomass
  • Biodiesel (methyl esters)
  • Biobutanol
  • Green diesel (hydroprocessed)
  • Biopropanol
  • Pyrolysis oil
  • Fischer Tropsch bio-derived diesel
  • Bio-derived synthetic paraffinic kerosene (bio jet fuel)
  • Biomass-based dimethyl ether
  • Renewable diesel (thermal depolymerization)
  • Green gasoline
  • And more!

If corn ethanol is your only passion, then this is not the event for you. For those whose interests lie in the countless other renewable fuels emerging, if there is only one workshop you attend this year, make it the Advanced Biofuels Workshop, June 14, 2010, at the America's Center convention hall in St. Louis.

Expert presentations, informed discussion, invaluable networking—all the perks of a full conference will be experienced during this convenient one-day workshop. More than 400 people are expected to attend to learn about advanced technology updates, algae and second-generation feedstock development, market challenges and trends, R&D activities, policy, finance, project development and more.

Be involved. Make a difference. Reserve your spot at the Advanced Biofuels Workshop today.

National Ethanol Conference (Policy and Marketing) - RFA
Location: Orlando, Florida, United States Map
Start Date: February 15, 2010
End Date: February 17, 2010

Description:

Join us in sunny Orlando, Florida for the Renewable Fuels Association's 15th Annual National Ethanol Conference: Policy & Marketing, "Climate of Opportunity," which will be held February 15-17, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. This conference is recognized as the premier event to interact, network and learn about the important marketing and public policy issues affecting the ethanol industry. You can't afford to miss it!

Speakers and sessions will focus on the historic opportunities facing our industry. As a renewable fuel, as an industry continuing to reduce energy inputs, and an industry diversifying into new feedstocks, ethanol is poised to make a significant contribution to our planet’s environment. Climate change is a seminal focus of the Obama Administration and an increasingly important issue to the public at large, and the momentum is in our favor. With steadfast resolve to increase ethanol’s marketshare in blends and E85, and a commitment to the best science, technical knowledge and quality, we have an opportunity to improve the industry as well. It’s clearly a Climate of Opportunity for the ethanol industry.

Consumer Electronics Show Dedicating More Space for Green Gadgets This Year

>> Wednesday, November 4, 2009

sustainable planet at ces photo


Considering the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is among the biggest events in electronics worldwide, it never seems too early to start talking about it. Especially when they issue a press release stating that they're expanding the Sustainable Planet green gadget section by over 40% from last year. Not that it'd be tough to do. Last year the Sustainable Planet section was practically impossible to find, and LG's booth right next door was practically the same size. So...what are the improvements CEA intends to make this year to ensure greener gadgets get the attention they deserve?



According to the release, Sustainable Planet will have upwards of 30 exhibitors focusing specifically on various green tech, including green building, sustainable packaging, automotive, wireless and alternative energy technologies. So basically, everyone who doesn't have a larger booth somewhere else at the trade show where they can incorporate their greener side will be piled up here.



Also, the release says the Sustainable Planet area will be located in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center - let's see if it stays that way. Last year, finding the area was a bit of a frustrating challenge since they moved it without updating all the maps or putting up very helpful signage.



Maybe since it'll be bigger this year, it'll be easier to find. We'll see. We're also really interested in finding out more about the presence of energy efficient TVs at CES. CEA has been railing hard against California's push to shove energy-sucking TVs off store shelves - the vote on which will happen today. Last year, most manufacturers of televisions were showing off at least one model of super energy efficient TV - presumably one that would do perfectly well under California's tightened standards. Considering energy efficiency is one of the greenest traits electronics can have, we'll try and gauge some opinions on that at the show as well.
