The Northwest Wood-Based Biofuels + Co-Products Conference wrapped up this week in Seattle WA. Based on the 200 + attendance and enthusiasm displayed by the attendees, this first time event was a success.
The meeting rooms were full as the agenda matched the diversity of the audience. Students, scientists, surveyors, business owners and managers, engineers, extension agents, tribal members, educators, foresters, economic development specialists and environmental activists all came to share their interest in a developing wood to biofuel industry.
The local NPR radio station came by to interview Michael Wolcott. You can read or hear their report here. For those who missed the conference, NARA presentations can be viewed here.
NARA will help coordinate another conference similar to this one in 2016. By that time, this project will be finishing up and many new developments will be ready to share.
