SALVO GLOBAL ANNOUNCES BIOFUELS
Sustained high oil prices and environmental pressures are directing governments and the industry to research and develop renewable energy sources and the technologies to produce them. With crude oil prices hovering above US$90 a barrel, biofuels are economically viable and there are future growth opportunities for the industry.
The summit will provide critical global information through various case studies from leading biofuels markets. Delegates will gain in-depth insight into the growing biofuels market in the region and beyond. There will also be discussions on second generation alternatives and growth in the biofuels sector.
With contributions from policy makers around the region, this summit will provide a perfect opportunity for identifying investment opportunities and securing project funds in biofuels. Our global panel of experts includes updates and presentations by Dr Kurujit Nakornthap, Deputy Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Energy Thailand, Dr Michael Dosim Lunjew, Secretary General, Ministry of Plantation Industries & Commodities Malaysia, Dr M. S. Punia, Executive Director, National Oilseeds and Vegetable Oils Development Board, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India , Dr. Evita H. Legowo, Assistant to Minister of Energy & Mineral Resources Indonesia and Werner Koerbitz, Founder, Austrian Biofuels Institute
