2009 TAPPI International Bioenergy & Bioproducts Conference

The International Bioenergy and Bioproducts Conference is positioned center stage in the emerging alternative energy arena, with the forest products industry-and pulp and paper mills specifically-poised to take the lead with a significant cellulosic biomass processing infrastructure already in place and biofuel production capacity within a relatively short reach. This two-day, highly focused conference explores both thermochemical and biochemical pathways available to today's chemical and mechanical pulp mills that can lead to fully integrated biorefinery capacity in the very near future.

The 2009 TAPPI EPE Conference - IBBC Conference will begin with a bridge session on Wednesday October 14, 2009. It ends the EPE Conference and starts IBBC event IBBC provides an excellent technical program, trade fair and great networking.
