Biofuels Digest Surveys Readers on 2011 Industry Trends
Biofuels Digest, the world’s most widely read biofuels daily, is asking readers to rank the trends that will drive the biofuels and biorefining industry in 2011. Will Congress debate new energy legislation? Which federal agency will support construction of the first commercial advanced biofuel biorefinery, USDA, DOE or DOD? How important will biobased products and renewable chemicals be as advanced biofuels producers look for an economically viable model? BIO member companies weighed in to suggest Read More >
The Latest in Advanced Biofuels and Climate Change
“Four more BIO interviews remaining in the pipeline (woohooo!).
