Join us in Munich!This year, F.O. Licht’s World Ethanol & Biofuels comes at a defining moment for the global industry.
By the time we come together in Munich in November, decisions may have been made in Brussels,
Washington and Brasilia which will set the course of future market development for years to come.
Over the last 16 years this event has provided an unrivalled platform for everyone in the supply chain
to hear the best analysis of the ethanol and biofuels industry around the world, find solutions to the
problems that everyone is facing and to build on opportunities for future growth.
This year’s conference will be the most important one yet. As we all assess a rollercoaster year for the
industry, you will be able to shape your strategy based on political developments and initiatives, the
supply/demand balance in key markets around the world, and the progress of new technologies.
And I believe it is a unique opportunity for actors in the global industry to join forces, to ensure that
the world knows the truth about biofuels and the benefits they can bring to the environment, to
agriculture and to economic development.
At the same time, this year’s World Ethanol & Biofuels will bring us closer to the “tipping point” for the
commercialisation of ligno-cellulosic ethanol. I am delighted that the major pioneers in this technology
have agreed to share their progress with us in November. As these companies approach the start of
commercial-scale production, they will send a powerful signal that with sustained investment and
secure policy frameworks, the biofuels industry can bring transformational technologies to market.
These technologies not only deliver further reductions in carbon emissions, but also open up markets
for a wide range of green chemicals and biobased co-products. This will enable biofuels producers to
diversify their business and help to ensure a sustainable future for us all.
These things cannot be achieved alone - it is when we come together that we can all make the most
progress to benefit us all. At F.O. Licht, we strive to make this event a truly global meeting place –
representatives from over 60 countries joined us last year, including ethanol and biofuels producers
from 5 continents and a wide range of buyers. This is one of the reasons why this is the best event for
global trade intelligence and doing business face-to-face.
And that is why we have organised a fantastic social programme which will give you the perfect
opportunity to network with contacts from across the supply chain, from all over the world. I am
already looking forward to catching up with old friends in Munich - and of course to making many
new ones as well.
I look forward to seeing you there!
