"We are excited about the overwhelming interest we have received from new companies looking to get involved in the biomass industry," says Tim Portz, Program Director for BBI International.

The 2012 program will include 30-plus panels and more than 100 speakers, including 90 technical presentations.
In addition to the panel sessions, attendees will be able to visit current biomass facilities and projects located around the Denver Metro area. Tours include the following locations:

Another hot topic at this year's conference is the use of biomass to help reduce forest fires and improve the current conditions of Rocky Mountain forests.
"Forest energy is a critical part of Colorado's new energy economy. Using biomass can help mitigate wildfires, restore forest health, improve public safety and safeguard water quality," says Mike Eckoff, a doctoral candidate in the Colorado State University forest and rangeland stewardship program. "In fact, of all our renewable resources, forest biomass is the one that can hurt us when we choose not to use it."
