Wshop151117: Advances in biofuel market opportunities
A liquid biofuels workshop held on 17 November 2015 in Hamilton for those interested in the heavy fuels market where bio-oils are likely to be an early path to commercialisation of liquid biofuels from biomass and municipal waste.
The event was structured to cover all liquid biofuels but had a specific focus on applications for marine, rail and other users of heavy fuel oils so they can get an update on progress being made towards having biofuels available for their applications.
The workshop was preceded by a demonstration of the production of pyrolysis oil and followed by a symposium convened by the Advanced Biofuels Research Network outlining advanced biofuel research being undertaken throughout New Zealand.
