Biomass South 2008 - Charting a Course for Biofuels, Biopower and Bioproducts. A southern regional conference that will:

• Promote interstate and regional collaboration by providing a forum and networking time among varied biomass interests - industry, investors, researchers, agencies, eco-developers, venture capitalists, policy makers, NGOs, feedstock producers and others.
• Provide a snapshot of current opportunities, technology, infrastructural needs, research, policy initiatives and incentives for biopower, biofuels and bioproducts in the South.

Resulting in:

• Development of a south-wide Biomass Roadmap to provide guidance for stakeholders in: biomass use, resource management, and business development.
• Building a viable biofuels, biopower and bioproducts industry in the South through research, funding, policy development and incentives.
• Forging new partnerships to promote sustainable development of these new industries in the South.
• A greater understanding of issues which must be addressed to assure broad acceptance of these industries.
