If you're interested in learning more about the the potential for bioenergy, I suggest you check out the Renewable Energy Finance Forum-Wall Street, held this June. It is an event bringing together financiers and renewable energy project developers to share their ideas on the future of the renewable energy industry. One of the official sessions will feature Bill Holmberg, the Chairman of the Biomass Coordinating Council, who will lead a discussion on the future of biofuels, including the prospects for new feedstocks such as algae and switchgrass.
