Bioenergy International expo & conference, which rebranded this year to focus on bioenergy and biomass as well as biodiesel and bioethanol, is a two-day event organised by leading global magazine Biofuels International.
It will look in depth at second generation biodiesel, cellulosic ethanol, ways to source sustainable biomass, pyrolysis technology, the potential of biogas across Europe, developments in the use of bioenergy for aviation, future feedstocks such as algae and jatropha, and the challenges of storing and handling both biomass and biofuels.
The conference will be opened by the Minister of the Environment of the Czech Republic, and other key speakers include PKN Orlen, OPEC, oil majors CESKÁ RAFINÉRSKÁ, Petronas, Cepra A.S, The European Bioethanol Fuel Association, The European Biogas Association, HSBC, biofuel producers like Preol, Agropodnik and BTG-BTL and many others.
As an added benefit delegates will get the chance to visit a nearby biodiesel plant on 4th May.
Preol is a leading producer in the Czech Republic, which has just completed constructing a state-of-the-art biodiesel plant in the industrial region of Lovosice.
The plant, designed by Desmet Ballestra, has the capacity to produce 100,000 tonnes of FAME biodiesel and 10,000 tonnes a year of glycerine. It also has an integrated oil mill capable of processing 400,000 tonnes of rapeseed a year and produce 160,000 tonnes of rapeseed oil, as well as 230,000 tonnes of rape meal.
