Bioenergy conference set for Aug. 12 in Tifton
By Brad Haire
University of Georgia College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences
(July 3, 2008) -- The latest information about alternative fuels and the
current
and future projects planned for this new industry in the
Southeast will be the focus of the third annual Southeast Bioenergy Conference Aug. 12 -13 in Tifton, Ga. The keynote speaker will be Ron Fagen, president and CEO of
Fagen Inc. “The man and his company have the best handle on the
pulse of the industry, and he will share his insights for the
future,” said Craig Kvien, a professor with the University of
Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and
a conference organizer.
 Gale Buchanan, a U.S. Department of Agriculture under
secretary, will provide an update on the country’s future
energy needs. Jose Luis Oliverio, vice president of Dedini
Industries de Base, will talk about the Brazilian biofuel
market and why it has been successful. “We will have speakers from across the world sharing their
experiences and vision for the Southeast,” Kvien said.
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, Georgia state Sen. Ross Tolleson and
U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss are also scheduled to attend.
Registration is $175 before July 31, and $225 after. College
students get in free. For more information, go to the Web site
