While the focus in Minneapolis-St. Paul this week has been the Republican National Convention, another important meeting is set for the Twin Cities later this month.

Facing a Renewable Fuels Standard that will go from using 600 million gallons of renewable fuels next year, growing to 21 billion gallons by 2022, the Advanced Biofuels Workshop & Trade Show will work on real solutions during its meeting September 28-30th at the Minneapolis Convention Center:

Building a technological bridge from first- to second-generation biofuels is America’s 21st Century “moon shot,” an undertaking as massive and consequential as the Apollo space program…

The Advanced Biofuels Workshop & Trade Show is designed specifically to help entrepreneurs, biomass producers, researchers, and technology, equipment and service providers prepare for this green fuels revolution. The conference will focus on technology updates, feedstock science and management, market challenges, research and development activities, and government policies and programs in support of advanced biofuels. It is both a timely primer and an invaluable networking opportunity for anyone seeking new prospects in this fast-growing sector of renewable energy.
