World Biofuels Markets 2012 Asks: "When Will Bio-based Chemicals Realise Billion Dollar Markets?"

During the co-located Bio-Based Chemicals conference, delegates from around the world will hear industry and technology updates from end user companies, investors, chemical companies, and early leaders in bio-based chemicals. Speakers will discuss key drivers for the industry’s projected multi-billion dollar markets, timelines for commercialisation, and the integration of bio-based products with current supply chains.

“Manufacturers and consumers are seeking healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable products, positioning the bio-based chemical and products industry to rapidly and drastically grow its market share over the next five to ten years,” said Claire Poole, Event Director for World Biofuels Markets. “As chemical companies and investors see this potential, and as the biofuels sector sees a need for high value co-products, the insights shared at our conference are of great interest from those across the entire value chain – from investors, to feedstock providers, all the way to some of the largest names in the chemical industry.”

Sessions specially designed and dedicated to this quickly growing market will also examine how end users are driving market demand for cleaner and greener chemicals and bio-based products, analyse what paths are being taken to achieve technology scale-up, and forecast how the industry will break the historic link with volatile oil prices. A full agenda of speakers and panels is available on the Bio-based Chemical conference website.

The 7th annual World Biofuels Markets, and 4th annual Bio-Based Chemicals conference, will take place March 13-15, 2012 in Rotterdam, Netherlands and are expected to draw more than 1,500 attendees from 80 countries and will include 275 expert speakers. Keynote speakers and executives from companies ranging from early-stage biofuels and bio-based chemicals start-ups, to world-leading financial institutions, and global energy companies will address the conference covering key topics such as Aviation Sustainability, Energy Crops,  Biofuels from Waste,  Finance & Investment, Biogas in Transportation, and Biopower Generation.
