Fourth Annual Biofuels Americas Conference & Expo Date: April 2-4, 2008 Location: Mexico City, Sheraton Centro Historico
Online Registration Has Closed. Only on-site registrations are being accepted at the Sheraton Hotel Centro Historico. Proceed to the 2nd Floor for registration
To our Biofuels Friends, Stakeholders and Partners:
In the last year the biofuels industry has seen tremendous growth in production, project finance and government support throughout the world. From our recent meetings in Asia, Africa, and South America we have heard directly from the producers, technology firms, government leaders and financiers who are committed to building the industry into an international energy leader.
The Mexican Government has passed new biofuels legislation opening the market for development. In addition, the US Congress has passed a new energy bill to increase the supply of ethanol to 36 billion gallons by 2022. The continued expansion of ethanol and biofuels will require a major expansion of production facilities and investments in the Americas. As oil passes $100 per barrel, a new investment in renewables is imperative for energy security and reducing our carbon footprint in the Americas.
As our mission is to inform, educate and connect people in the biofuels industry, we invite you to join us at the leading biofuels conference for the Americas in Mexico City.
