Woody Biomass Supply Chains Conference and VIP Tour of the Mid-Atlantic Logging & Biomass Expo
Conference Overview
The production of energy from woody biomass can be an important component of a comprehensive plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy security. Biomass represents 79% of independent renewable energy generation in North Carolina and will continue to represent a large portion of the renewable energy portfolio for the foreseeable future. This offers an exciting economic development opportunity on top of the contribution it can make to energy sustainability and pollution reduction. This one day conference will provide a regional insiders’ overview of woody biomass and emerging wood-fueled renewables from experts in the field and on the front lines.
The Woody Biomass Supply Chains Conference and VIP Tour event will marshal the experience and wisdom of biomass specialists in technology, science and economics. Participants will gain insight and market knowledge from candid discussions on supply opportunities, solutions to market obstacles and proven methods of seizing market advantage. Participants’ experience will be enriched by face to face contact in both formal (classroom) and informal (lunch, exhibitor showcase, and VIP Tour) settings with an audience and presenters to include:
• Wood suppliers
• Economic development officers
• Entrepreneurs
• Financiers
• Venture capitalists
• Agency staff
