The international VDI conference will discuss major issues for the biofuel markets, in technical, political and business areas, drawing on leading experiences from all over Europe. The event aims to encourage an international exchange of experience on biofuel-research and development covering biodiesel, bioethanol, HVO, jetfuel with a special focus on conversion technologies of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation feedstocks. The key question of the conference is: What is necessary to increase biofuel volumes in Europe? The conference covers:

• EU Legislation, national support mechanisms, effects of double counting
• Best Practice Examples: Conversion technologies/processes of bioethanol and biodiesel
• GHG emissions, sustainability and feedstocks
• Booming markets
• Best Practice Examples: Conversion technologies/processes
• New developments and technologies such as algae and straw to ethanol
