Fossil fuels are old stuff. The thinking now is on converting
renewable resources into usable fuels and energy. And
back-to-back symposiums at the University of Georgia Feb. 18-20
show how serious the biofuel thinking has become.
The 2003 Georgia BioFuels Symposium Feb. 18-19 will focus on
technologies suitable in Georgia for converting biomass into
fuels for steam, electrical generation and transportation.
Then, on Feb. 20, the Georgia Industrial Technology Partnership
Symposium and Workshop will explore forest products and the
agriculture-biomass industry.
The people in the afternoon sessions Feb. 20 will be able to help
guide the direction and focus of research and development efforts
that will affect these industries for years.
The programs aren’t just about saving the environment. They’re
about saving and making money, too. Entrepreneurs, businesses,
technology developers — anyone interested in renewable energy
resources can benefit from either or both of these programs.
Both will be at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education in
Athens, Ga.
