By knowing what technologies and services to use:
to achieve the RFS targets, the industry needs to produce viable, commercial-scale
advanced biofuels. What technologies are working? Which companies can help you
achieve your goals? What support services are available out there? Our Exhibition Hall
will be the hub for networking and business development, giving you a chance to network
with exhibitors, hear about their products and understand your needs.
