This could be your big chance to learn how to be a be a part of the now significantly growing global bioeconomy. Learn how to leverage renewable materials from biomass to produce chemicals and fuels at TAPPI's 2016 International Bioenergy and Bioproducts Conference (IBBC), September 28-30 in Jacksonville, Fla., USA. IBBC features both in-depth technical presentations, plus business oriented sessions that address business models, funding, and partnerships.

Program Focus: 

• Biomass: supply and demand, harvesting, pretreatments, pellets
• Conversion Pathways: thermochemical, biochemical, hybrid conversion technologies
• Process Integration: technical and economic issues, evaluating potential integration pathways
  
• Biochemicals and Bioproducts: lignin, sugar-derived and cellulose-based products, market assessments, end-user perspectives
• Projects and Case Studies: project status updates, deployment challenges, techno-economic studies.

• From Good to Great – Steps to Supercharge Your Biobased Business Plan

Here you will learn the key critical elements in moving a bioproduct project from proof of technical concept through to commercialization.  

• Monetizing Lignin, Sugars, and Fibers from Wood – How Do We Do It?

To facilitate the use of wood-based biomass, raw material producers must understand the needs and requirements of their customers. 

IBBC is co-located with the TAPPI PEERS Conference and your IBBC registration includes the Biorefinery Bridge Sessions taking place as part of the PEERS Conference, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Wednesday, September 28; as well as the Student Poster Session.

 

IBBC is also co-located with the International Mechanical Bleaching Conference, and held in conjunction with the 11th Annual Research Forum on Recycling.
