7TH ANNUAL RENEWABLE ENERGY FROM ORGANICS RECYCLING CONFERENCE

In Business and BioCycle are holding their 7th Annual Conference on Renewable Energy From Organics Recycling, October 1-3, 2007 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The conference highlights renewable energy projects that cross a range of technologies and feedstock sources. Small and large-scale anaerobic digestion

projects that incorporate animal manures, as well as food processing residuals, fats/ oils/grease and other higher energy feedstocks are featured. One session looks at gasification projects fueled by C&D debris and poultry litter, as well as reviews technology advances; another gets into innovations with converting landfill gas into biofuels and combined heat and power. Presentations on ethanol production developments evaluate transportation logistics of biomass to ethanol plants, and how to generate ethanol from various residuals streams.

The 2007 Renewable Energy From Organics Recycling Conference also gets into the nitty-gritty of project development - from financing and securing fuel supplies to permitting and regulatory compliance. Managers and developers of anaerobic digestion plants will explain the necessary steps to upgrade biogas to pipeline quality renewable natural gas. Public policy discussions will review how states and regional groups are drafting and implementing incentive programs to facilitate development of a renewable energy and biofuels infrastructure. These include how to encourage utilities and natural gas pipeline companies to purchase output from renewable power and fuel projects.

The opening plenary session on October 1st includes a keynote address by Fred Mayes, Chief of the Renewable Information Team at the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA). He will present updated wood and wood waste supply estimates for biomass energy projects and also will discuss an EIA study that quantifies biogenic sources in the municipal solid waste stream.

On October 3, 2007, a field trip will tour the Oreencycle yard trimmings and wood waste processing and composting facility in Indianapolis; the Fair Oaks Dairy and the Hidden View Dairy anaerobic digester installations (Fair Oaks sandbeds its dairy cows, which makes its digester project unique); and the Twin Bridges landfill gas recovery project that is capable of producing up to 6,400 kW of electricity.
