The future of renewable energy sources was the topic of conversation at the recent Advanced Biofuels Leadership Conference, featuring speakers from the biofuels industry, trade associations, government and finance, among others speaking at the three-day event just outside of Washington, DC.
From the major announcement by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood that they were extending the “Farm to Fly” program, which encourages the development of biofuel production for the aviation industry to private financiers explaining what investors are looking for in the ethanol and biodiesel markets, the event brought a wealth of knowledge and diversity to the conversation.
