Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

The Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance (NARA), a public-private partnership working to develop jet fuel and co-products from forest-based feedstocks, is a new, promising approach to successful commercial development and the establishment of sustainable production of bioenergy and bioproducts. Linda A. Beltz, Ph.D., NPDP, director, Technology Partnerships for Weyerhaeuser, will present "NARA: Public Private Partnerships to Advance the Forest Products Industry" during TAPPI's International Bioenergy and Bioproducts Conference, September 18-20 in Green Bay, Wis., USA.  

Weyerhaeuser announced its engagement with NARA as a subcontractor to support investigations into feedstock development, including sustainable production, cost-effective use of under-utilized harvest material, and conversion of lignin into value-added products. Weyerhaeuser also contributes to NARA in team leadership and development of Phase and Gate processes. 

Learn more about NARA and the latest in advancing biorefineries in the forest products industry at the International Bioenergy and Bioproducts Conference. IBBC, the only industry event of its kind, is held in conjunction with the PEERS Conference (September 15-18), TAPPI's leading event for those involved in mill pulping operations, engineering projects, and environmental processes. Also included is the 10th Research Forum on Recycling.

IBBC includes three full days of technical sessions through which you will also be able to learn the latest developments in the forest-based biorefineries. Build your relationships with key decision makers at the ample networking opportunities both on the exhibit floor and the conference dinner and receptions.
