Workshop
Pre-Summit Biomass Technology Briefing:
Obtain a report on the status of the development and commercialization of advanced biomass technologies.
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
The Briefing will provide developers, investors, lenders and other industry players an excellent opportunity to obtain a report on the status of the development and commercialization of advanced biomass technologies for making ethanol and valuable chemicals from cellulosic biomass and gasifying or liquefying biomass for more efficient power production. The goal is to furnish valuable insight into when these technologies will be ready for primetime and provide the foundation for financeable biomass projects. The Briefing will review these technologies and
- Assess their current state-of-the-art and expected future developments
- Report on their technical challenges and commercialization timelines
- Evaluate their economic implications
- Appraise their operating histories and risk characteristics
