Bio-Trending - A Key Element at IBBC 2016

 As the world’s energy sources start to shift towards bioenergy, companies need to stay informed about the latest Bio-Trends in order to stay competitive. Staying abreast of the latest technologies, processes and best practices can mean the difference between success or failure.

 

 

 

At IBBC 2016, industry leaders will gather to share their expertise and experiences as well as to discuss the latest issues affecting the industry. They acknowledge that IBBC’s extensive technical program and peer-to-peer networking events offers them the opportunity to gain the additional industry insight and knowledge that they need to be successful.

Industry professionals, academia, research laboratories, and government agencies will gather in Jacksonville, Fla., USA, for the International Bioenergy and Bioproducts Conference (IBBC) on September 28-30 to discuss the latest technical findings, best practices, and new production methods that will enable the forest industry to better mobilize its potential biomass resources to support a thriving bioeconomy.
