3rd BTLtec (Biomass to Liquids) will be held in Göteborg, Sweden on October 13-14, 2008 with major authorities and project stakeholders from Europe and the US, discussing commercialization of BTL. Technological advancements & worldwide growth of BTL projects set the tone for the more than 20 experts sharing insights on biomass to liquid industry prospect

Göteborg, Sweden (PRWEB) July 14, 2008 -- The 3rd BTLtec conference to be held in Göteborg on October 13-14, 2008 will look at two issues that are critical to the widespread commercialization of BTL:

• That the integration of a BTL plant with a pulp and paper mill can be economically attractive under many circumstances.
• Are forest biomass resources sufficient to support future growth in BTL projects plans and are there alternative feedstock options?

The October meet also features insights on the latest technological, policies, projects and market trends in the BTL value chain. In addition, focused case studies on the future directions of sustainable Biomass conversion in Sweden, BTL in Norway and the overall outlook on supply and demand of Biomass in EU will put regional developments in BTL into broader perspective.

Improved technologies in gasification and F T processes are opening new opportunities for even pulp and paper mills to play the important role in bioenergy field as biomass processors. In fact it was reported just last month that Neste Oil plans to build a $1B NExBTL Renewable Diesel Plant in Rotterdam. Prior to this, in May last year, UPM, a global forestry company teamed up with Carbona to develop synthetic biofuels.
