“Alternative energy“ is still discussed as a red hot topic. America's first international exhibition and conference on “Biomass and Waste” offered an extremely interesting forum for around 700 attendees and 85 exhibitors. Innovative technologies and new business areas in the Green Fuel Industry were discussed. AVA successfully presented a technical lecture to a crowded booth, and was thus able to display its expertise in biodiesel production to an American audience. Interested parties are looking forward with curiosity to the next EBW in October 2008. By then technologies will be further refined where deriving energy from waste is concerned.
