Biofuels: Challenges, Opportunities and Perspectives

Sponsored by:

Invitrogen

Replacing oil with next generation biofuels as the foundation of the world’s transportation system spurs the imagination of innovators, researchers, entrepreneurs and investors. Bringing biofuel innovations to market is challenging, however, due to both scientific and monetary concerns. Two panels will address these issues; the first panel will focus on the science and commercialization challenges and opportunities in the biofuels market, the second panel will focus on current energy policies of the US government, its approach to supporting next generation biofuels, and the impact of the economic stimulus package on the biofuels industry. Join us for this exciting event!
