The Compelling Argument for Carbon Reduction or Capture Strategies at Ethanol or Biodiesel Plants Room 205AB
Read Description
Markets that reward low-carbon fuels are already here and forecasted to grow worldwide as countries work to drive down the carbon intensity of their economies. Conventional biofuels already offer a lower carbon profile when compared to their fossil fuel equivalents, but technologies do exist to substantially increase those reductions. This panel will look closely at carbon capture or reduction approaches available now and under development while also asking whether or not existing marketplace premiums are able to justify their cost.

Examining the Advanced Biofuels Market through the Lens of RIN Production and RIN Markets Room 205AB
Read Description
The production of advanced biofuels RINs and the marketplace for those RINs is a crucial piece of the economics of any advanced biofuel production venture. Presenters in this panel will explore the relationship between RIN prices, volumetric production requirements and RIN waivers and what it means for producers considering an advanced biofuel investment. This panel is a must for any producer looking to bring clarity to their return-on-investment calculations for efficient production or advanced biofuel investments.

Imagining Your Plant’s Future in Advanced Biofuels Production and the Technologies Available Now to Get You There Room 205AB
Read Description
Established biofuel production facilities with a history of success and healthy cash flows offer a compelling opportunity for the developers of bolt-on technologies. Similarly, bolt-on technologies offer existing facilities a capital-light pathway to new markets that may provide a healthier margin than the markets they are selling into now. Representatives of emerging, bolt-on technologies working to prove the economic viability of their process will present their business case to producers ready to make advanced biofuels production a piece of their operating strategy.
