Please join the Chicago Clean Energy Alliance for our next quarterly event to be held on January 19th, 2012. Our Presenting Sponsor, Mayer Brown, will be hosting a panel to address and answer: Advanced Biofuels: Ready For Primetime?

While long-promised, this may actually be the dawn of commercial advanced biofuels – American, United and other airlines are flying with biofuel; the US military is spending significant amounts of money for advanced biofuel capabilities and commercial-scale advanced biofuel plants are under construction or have recently commenced commercial operation.

Come and hear market leaders and participants describe the current state and bright future for advanced biofuels.
