Biofuels are getting their moment in the spotlight with Canadian Biomass’ second annual week-long exploration of biogas, biodiesel, ethanol and more. Join us Oct. 14-18, 2024, to talk about new projects, technology and low-carbon solutions.
Follow along all week (#BiofuelsWeek) as we will highlight feature stories, columns and research both from our archives as well as brand-new stories about biofuel technology, projects and solutions across Canada.
Our Biofuels Week landing page is a year-round hub for industry and curious minds to find the latest information on biofuels in Canada.
Thanks to our inaugural 2023 Biofuels Week sponsor below. Interested in sponsoring in 2024? Reach out to Rebecca Lewis: rlewis@annexbusinessmedia.com.
