This is the FIRST AFCC Global Biobased Economy Conference! The conference will focus on promoting the USDA's BioPreferred® Program* throughout this two-day conference and exhibition. To kick off the event there will be a reception on Sunday evening, November 14, 2021 from 5:30 -7:00 p.m., included in the registration of the conference.
The conference will include featured speakers during Breakout sessions, Workshops and Poster Presentations on the following subjects:
-
Global biobased economy
-
USDA's BioPreferred® Program
-
Biobased product manufacturing and certification
-
USDA's Section 9003 Biorefinery and Renewable Chemicals. Also included will be information on the Biobased Products Manufacturing Assistance Program which helps to support and stimulate innovation by providing loan guarantees that allow companies to commercialize first-of-a-kind technologies to produce biofuels, renewable chemicals, and biobased products
-
And other key federal agency programs
Three Educational Subjects will be the Theme Throughout the Conference:
Summary of Events
The three subjects listed above will disseminated into the following sessions:
AFCC Conference Workshop Sessions
Workshop Session Details
The AFCC Workshop sessions will offer a hands-on approach to learning in addition to skills-building. These sessions will offer a moderated, in-depth discussion among a group of experts offering diverse viewpoints around a particular topic.
The Workshop sessions are for those who seek to grow their industrial biotechnology knowledge, investment opportunities, government funding and for those seeking capital and sustainable solutions to real-world problems. These workshops will be packed with high energy and a must-attend event.
The 2021 AFCC Global Biobased Economy Conference & Exhibit organizes these workshops in order to connect you, the attendee, to industry leaders’ suppliers, investors, government agencies, engineering and construction organizations, technology insurance solutions, and peers. AFCC workshops are sponsored events from both public and private organizations.
Workshop sessions will be focused on the following three subject areas:
Each workshop session will be 90 minutes with one moderator and four to five panelists.
If you are a public or private organization interested in sponsoring an educational and attendee-participation interactive Workshop session, please submit your abstract. We are looking for cutting edge innovations, sharing critical business development insights and offering educational points to help the global biobased economy.
All events will stop for workshops. The subject, scope and acceptance of the proposed workshop will be determined by the Abstract submitted.
1. Modernizing USDA’s BioPreferred® Program
The workshop session moderator and speaker registration fees will be waived although all speakers and/or moderators are required to register.
The workshop will focus on the evolution of the USDA BioPreferred® Program in concert with celebrating the 10th anniversary for its label. A dynamic team of procurement officers from federal agencies will present their approaches on procuring biobased products over incumbent consumer products. Explanations on approaches for procurement using contracts and other mechanisms which are not commonly known to producers will be presented.
There will be discussions on the opportunities and challenges of equipping the BioPreferred® Program with additional sustainability parameters, raising visibility among consumers and supporting more reasons to purchase sustainable sourced plant and other renewable resource-based products.
Moderator and Panelists will be announced shortly.
2. Project Financing: Completing the Puzzle to Finance Your Project
Moderator: Matt Lucas, PhD, MD at New Energy Risk
A successful project financing requires assembling many pieces to complete the puzzle that is your project. We'll start the panel by reviewing the pieces of the puzzle and panelists will discuss how they take these factors into account when evaluating project financing's. This panel includes a cross-cut of the key project financing pathways for your project, including public bond offerings, federal loan guarantees, and private equity. The panel will focus on what provides financial products that derisk project to help them achieve lower-cost capital more easily. Both debt and equity financing approaches will be presented.Workshop Details available soon.
Panelists will be announced shortly.
3. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Interagency Working Group (IWG)
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Interagency Working Group (IWG) are structuring a workshop that addresses the vision for Sustainable Aviation Biofuels regarding the following to:
-
Communicate progress IWG has made on developing a SAF roadmap
-
Discuss IWG’s current SAF development efforts
-
Seek input from the targeted group of constituents attending the workshop on IWG’s progress on developing the SAF road map, current efforts, and potential future objectives
The timing for the workshop is perfectly aligned with the Grand Challenge rolled out by the White House on initiatives to boost SAF and the government’s recognition of the role SAF will play in helping the aviation industry meet its decarbonization goals of supplying sufficient SAF to meet 100 percent of aviation fuel demand by 2050.
The workshop is sponsored by the Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) and hosted by Alternative Fuels & Chemicals Coalition (AFCC).
Moderator and Panelists will be announced shortly.
4. Renewable Forest Raw Materials as Feedstocks for Innovative Biomass Power, Biofuel, and Renewable Chemicals Projects
Innovative renewable chemical, biofuel, and biomass power projects have been disadvantaged in the market vs. their more entrenched competitors for reasons such as: reliable feedstock supply (as well as an equally reliable and robust supply chain) and feedstock pricing. When focusing on projects utilizing forest raw materials specifically, success is driven by trustworthy and precise assessments for feedstock volumes, prices, and sensitivity analyses. Forest2Market provides a range of unique services and solutions for bioenergy, biofuels and renewable chemicals manufacturers and consumers. Companies in these industries rely on our data, analytics, knowledge, and insights throughout the project development process. Once they are operational, these companies rely on Forest2Market to help them understand their competitive positions in the broader market, optimize their supply chains and improve their performance. As ESG priorities continue to expand, interest in renewable forest material feedstocks – as well as residuals and wood waste streams – will continue to grow. While renewable chemicals produced from forest raw materials face few supply chain risks, the US EPA (under the RFS program) greatly limits the forestry pathways. This presentation will review feedstock criteria impacting both the unlimited pathways of renewable chemicals and biomass power, and the constricted pathways under the RFS. We will also review the related market drivers in the EU, North America, and Brazil that impact supply chain valuations, economics and financial analyses that are detailed in Forest2Market resource assessments.
Moderator and Panelists will be announced shortly. READ MORE
