In the dull aftermath of the Copenhagen Climate Summit last year and the much awaited hype for plug-in electric cars next year, the biofuels have been in the shadow for some time. In this conference we will present the latest developments in biofuels and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing business and investors.

 Some of the issues to be discussed 
·      Will biofuel be a sustainable alternative or just a bridging solution?
·      Can investors trust the politicians in long term climate policy?
·      Is biofuel an export opportunity for Sweden?
·      Biofuels in maritime and air transport?
·      Will biofuels be superseded by plug-in electric cars?
·      Factors driving demand for ethanol
·      Who decides what fuel – consumers or politicians?

James E. McDonald, Biofuels Development Group, LLC; Stratford Energy Group LLC; vice-chair Swedish-American Chamber of Southern Florida; McCluskey & McDonald, Attorneys at Law
