International Biomass Conference & Expo

Senior Fellow, David C. Dayton, will be presenting on Wednesday, March 20th, 2019 during the 10:30 AM Track 4 Session: Advanced Biofuels & Biobased Chemicals. His presentation will be on RTI's "Advanced Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels and Bio-Products" capabilities. Track 4 will be focusing on thermochemical conversion approaches to refine waste biomass into renewable fuel and chemical products. Municipal solid waste streams continue to generate robust enthusiasm from biofuel technology developers and researchers. A feedstock that generates revenue merely by virtue of accepting it at the plant gate alone is enough to propel continued interest. Still the feedstock is anything but homogenous and its characteristics continue to vex those anxious to commercialize conversion approaches for it. This panel will provide attendees with an update on the efforts to once and for all bring common and abundant waste streams into the biofuels portfolio.

About the Conference

The 12th annual International Biomass Conference & Expo will take place March 18-20, 2019, at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center in Savannah, GA. This dynamic event unites industry professionals from all sectors of the world’s interconnected biomass utilization industries—biobased power, thermal energy, fuels and chemicals.

Organized by BBI International and produced by Biomass Magazine, this event brings current and future producers of bioenergy and biobased products together with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. It’s a true one-stop shop – the world’s premier educational and networking junction for all biomass industries.

International Biomass Conference & Expo is where future and existing producers of biobased power, fuels and thermal energy products go to network with waste generators and other industry suppliers and technology providers. It’s where project developers converse with utility executives; where researchers and technology developers rub elbows with venture capitalists; and where Fortune 500 executives and influential policy makers sit side-by-side with American farmers and foresters.

International Biomass Conference & Expo is the largest, fastest-growing event of its kind. In 2019, this event is expected to draw nearly 900 attendees. In 2018, the event drew more than 700 attendees and doubling the attendance of the inaugural show. This growth is fueled by a world-class Expo and an acclaimed program.

Once again, the 2019 International Biomass Conference & Expo program will include 30-plus panels and more than 100 speakers, including 90 technical presentations on topics ranging from anaerobic digestion and gasification to pyrolysis and combined heat and power, all within the structured framework of four customized tracks:

Track 1: Pellets & Densified Biomass 
Track 2: Biomass Power & Thermal 
Track 3: Biogas & Waste-to-Energy 
Track 4: Advanced Biofuels & Biobased Chemicals
