Science symposium 2016: International biofuels developments
held at the Novotel Lakeside Hotel, Rotorua on 10 November 2016
The Bioenergy Association and Advanced Biofuels Research Network have combined to host a symposium including international and local speakers providing an update on the latest research and market activities for liquid biofuels.
A number of international researchers are in Rotorua for a week of IEA Bioenergy meetings. This will provide a unique opportunity to hear a number of international experts speak at this symposium on their latest research activities and provide updates of the situation of liquid biofuels markets in their respective countries.
The event will cover all liquid transport biofuels, but will specifically be of interest for users of drop-in fuels in road transport, marine and aviation sectors to get an update on progress being made towards having these biofuels available for their applications. The Symposium is also an opportunity to meet others in the sector and get an update on global technology and fuel developments.
