The 5th Annual Premier Cellulosic
Biofuels Industry-Building Event


Three Exceptional Meetings Dedicated to Finance & Investment
Opportunities, Policy & Regulatory Solutions, Scaling Up to the
Biorefineries of the Future and Establishing the Feedstock Supply Chain

This November, at the 5th Annual Cellulosic Biofuels Summit, all the communities in the cellulosic biofuels value chain--leaders from the feedstock, industrial biotech, biofuel technology, plant developers, finance, oil and transportation communities--will return to Washington, D.C. to advance the development of the nation's cellulosic biofuels industry. This major industry-building event has established itself as the place where the industry convenes to strategize their goal of achieving the commercial production of cellulosic biofuels.

The 2010 Summit is an essential one as the industry has reached a critical stage in its history. After enormous work and great progress, the industry must achieve the transition to commercial scale production in order to successfully continue and thrive.

The Summit will be dedicated to taking biofuels to the next level by first focusing on the policy, regulatory, and financial solutions that will enable industry scale up, and then by investigating the pathways and strategies for transitioning to the biorefineries of the future.

Building a new cellulosic biofuels industry on such a vast scale will require continued progress along the value chain and establishing productive partnerships will be an essential feature of industry success. The Summit has been a prime networking venue and will continue to provide a rich opportunity for offline discussions, where everyone has the advantage to network with all the groups in the value chain and establish beneficial relationships.
