NASA to give keynote presentation at Biofuels International Canada expo & conference
Bulzan will be talking about 'Green Aeronautics': the work NASA is doing to make aircraft more environmentally friendly through R&D on the modifications to engines, the combustion process and alternative fuels (including biofuels).
The presentation will look at: The Goals of NASA Fundamental Aeronautics Programs; Airframe Improvements for Noise Reduction and Efficiency Improvements; Propulsion System Improvements for Fuel Efficiency and Emission Reduction; and Alternative Fuels.
Drawing on the success of Biofuels International expo & conference in Europe in 2008 & 2009, Biofuels International expanded its portfolio into Montreal, with a two day conference to be held on 28 and 29th October 2009.
Other confirmed speakers at the event include Rick White, General Manager, Canadian Canola Growers Association, Gordon Quaiattini, President, Canadian Renewable Fuels Association, Jeff Passmore, Executive Vice President, Iogen Corporation, Vincent Chornet, President and Chief Executive Officer, Enerkem, Duane Chung, President and CEO, Centurion Biofuels, Zenneth Faye, Executive Manager, Milligan Bio-Tech and many more!
The conference is designed to coincide with Canada's biofuel mandate which takes effect in 2010. This requires oil companies to market fuel that contains 5% renewable content, and will considerable increase the demand for biofuels in the country.
In order for Canada to reach this target around 2.74 billion litres of ethanol and 0.36 billion litres of biodiesel will be required, so Biofuels International Canada expo & conference will bring together producers, regulators and investors to discuss how best to meet these goals.
The first commercial scale biodiesel plant in Canada was built in Montreal in 2005, and it is also one of the most direct and profitable routes between North American industry and Mediterranean markets, so is a perfect location for this show.
As an added bonus the event will be co-hosted with Tank Storage Canada expo & conference, an event which is organised by Tank Storage magazine, and focuses on best practices for storage terminals – for full details on this event please visit
