I’ve been telling you about the bright future of biofuels not just as a clean
alternative to fossil-based transportation fuels but as a promising solution to
one of the most difficult challenges in aviation, the need for a sustainable
replacement for kerosene used in jet aircraft.
As you have read in my last 3 posts, I am very enthusiastic about jatropha.
Fabulous as it is, we are years away from generating enough biofuel from
jatropha to put a serious dent in the vast quantities of fossil fuels which we
need to eliminate from our daily global energy diet if we are to reverse global
warming. Simply put, running all of our commercial aircraft on jatropha oil is
very important but merely a drop in the proverbial bucket.
The big bang, so to speak, lies in ships, trains and trucks. Diesel-powered
furnaces and generators are in the mix, too. If we could move all of them to
biofuel, we would begin to move the needle which measures the production of
greenhouse gases which cause global warming. In order to do that, we need to
create an industry as large and successful as the worldwide oil business. In a
few weeks’ time, a fabulous conference will take place in the historic city of
Brussels which will do just that.
The World Biofuels Markets conference will take place in mid-March
at the Brussels Expo Centre and I look forward to attending. The theme for this
year’s event is “Towards the Sustainable Bio Future”. Discussion topics will
include:
- Biofuels policy and standards
- Biochemicals and bioplastics
- Investment opportunities
- Jatropha markets
- Logistics and transport
As you can grasp, the producers of the World Biofuels Markets conference
understand the need for a holistic approach to the biofuels industry. Until the
world sees that advocates are tackling the problem from every angle and tangent,
we will be seen as little more than a nuisance to the well established petroleum
monopoly.
Speakers include Sir Bob Geldof, Lord Browne, former head of British Petroleum,
and Jeb Bush, former governor of the State of Florida and the creator of
Florida’s first network of hydrogen fueling stations, for which I had the
pleasure of attending the groundbreaking just a few miles from my house.
If you would like to learn more about biofuels as an industry and capture the
latest thoughts on how we make a real difference in supplanting and ultimately
replacing fossil fuels for energy and transportation, I encourage you to attend
the World Biofuels Markets conference. You’ll find all of the necessary details
