Tackling Climate Change Head-on: World Biofuels Markets

(PRWeb) February 9, 2007 -- Al Gore will address the World Biofuels Markets Congress & Exhibition on March 7th at the Brussls Expo, Belgium. This event is the leading Congress for the Global Biofuels industry. With governments eager to diversify their energy supplies and the increasing threat of climate change it is rare to have an industry experiencing such tremendous global growth. With new biorefineries springing up daily across the globe from Honduras, USA to India and Nigeria visitors from 50+ countries have already registered and the excitement is building.



Against a backdrop of cutting-edge legislation by the EC Commission's Energy Policy for Europe, which confirms separate minimum Biofuels targets of 10% energy content by 2020, the World Biofuels Market Congress could not come at a more fitting time. The reality can no longer be ignored; biofuels will play a key role in alleviating the growing threat of climate change and addressing the need to reduce energy dependency.

The World Biofuels Markets Congress (6th-9th March) is Europe's largest World Biofuels Networking Event with over 1000 attendees expected. The aim of this event is to assist growth in the world biofuels industry in a timely and efficient manner. By enabling organizations of all sizes to discuss common concerns and goals, this event supports the switch from fossil fuels to alternative energy. This annual congress facilitates critical debate, analysis and learning for all involved in the world biofuels market.

The Congress will cover all aspects of the Biofuels Industry including the key issues of how and when the industry will move to 2nd Generation Platforms and how to ensure the sustainability of the biofuels feedstocks.

Additional Congress Features:
Biofuels Finance and Investment Seminar, 6th March
Biofuels Sustainability Workshop, 6th March
REFUEL Biofuels Policy Workshop, 6th March
Next Generation Biofuels Seminar, 9th March

We are delighted to present Al Gore as esteemed keynote speaker alongside a line up of 150+ board level speakers. With over 600+ high level executives having confirmed their attendance and over 50 exhibiting companies, this is the 'must attend' event in the Biofuels calendar.
