After attending the BIO 2006 Convention I’m sure that any event being organized by BIO will be world class. That’s what the upcoming World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology and Bioprocessing sounds like it will be. This is the 3rd time the event will be held.
NG Diesel Trip Is Blogged
I hope you like our event blogging. I’ve been receiving some very nice comments on it, thank you. Here’s a story about an event that’s being blogged in Africa that you might be interested to check out.

Global Shift to Biofuels
The Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, better known as FAO, is seeing a major international trend toward bioenergy.

Corn Growers Discuss Ethanol in Japan
The CEO of the National Corn Growers Association was in Japan last week to talk about the history and the future of ethanol in the United States
French Race for Ethanol Supremacy

Biodiesel: His Majesty the King’s vision

Oh E-Canada!
Our neighbors to the north may soon have a national biofuels standard.
Ms Fuels For Life
This is an interesting story in the INQ7.net about a former Miss Universe who is now championing alternative fuels as what they describe “Ms Fuels For Life.” The story was actually published in the Phillipine Daily Inquirer. Margie Moran was Miss Universe in 1973 and is working with her government’s Clean City program and the U. S. Dept. of Energy and the United States Agency for International Development on this project. In the Phillipines they make biodiesel out of coconuts and ethanol out of sugar.
