Dear Executive,
“China will approve more fuel ethanol plants using feedstocks
other than grains, after suspending approval of such projects for more than
a year on concerns over food supply and inflation. The National Development
and Reform Commission has endorsed proposed plans by five provinces to
build plants using sweet potatoes, sweet sorghum or cassava, it said on its
Web site (www.ndrc.gov.cn).” ~ LATEST NEWS- Reuters 7 Apr 2008
It is time to REGISTER
for the NextGen Bio-Ethanol,
on 22-23 April at in Bangkok
move ethanol investments forward with the new feedstocks approved for
ethanol production in China.
With less than 14 days left, make your decision to attend now!
To refresh your
memory, NextGen
Bio-Ethanol
is a timely multi-speaker seminar
on Ethanol production and processing from 2nd Generation Ethanol
feedstocks including Sweet Sorghum, Cassava &
Cellulose.
About our Seminar
Leader
Cesar B. Granda, Ph.D.
Dr. Granda has been involved with biomass conversion to chemicals and fuels
since 1997 conducting research in almost all unit operations of the
