After 2009’s successful combined Biofuels International/Tank
Storage Canada expo & conference in Montreal we are pleased to
announce that this year’s event will be held on 27-29th September in
the new location of Calgary, Alberta - and a new name!
The biofuels sector in Canada is just beginning but all the signs
are that it will grow into a strong and successful industry. The
government has made clear longterm commitments to renewable energy,
such as a 5% inclusion of ethanol in petrol in 2010, and a 2%
biodiesel inclusion in diesel by 2011.
Alberta is under increasing pressure to become more environmentally
friendly and is home to the largest biorefinery in North America.
During 2009-10 $55 million (€33 million) will be committed for biofuel
initiatives to support the development of renewable energy and offer
additional economic opportunities for rural Alberta and the
agriculture and forestry industries.
Bioenergy International Canada expo & conference will bring
together producers, regulators and investors to discuss how best to
meet these goals and support the market’s continued development.
Calgary is the ideal location for this event, and as an added bonus
visitors and delegates will have free access to the concurrent Tank
Storage Canada expo & conference – focusing on terminal and tank
farm developments throughout Canada and Northern America.
