Sketching Out Opportunities in the Biofuels Space: What’s in it for Indian Manufacturers

The world is heating up, and with it the defining issue of our time - Global Warming !!! As this issue among others such as rising crude oil prices and depleting fossil fuel reserves gains momentum, biofuels among other sources of renewable energy are drawing interest as alternatives to fossil fuels. With an increasing number of governments now supporting this cause in the form of mandates and other policy initiatives the biofuels industry is poised to grow at a phenomenal rate. Keeping this trend in mind, Frost & Sullivan is pleased to organize the first edition of “Sketching Out Opportunities in the Biofuels Space: What’s in it for Indian Manufacturers?”, a one day convention aimed at highlighting the opportunities in the Biofuels market and providing a networking platform to industry participants.

The primary objective of this convention is to highlight the opportunity areas for industry participants in the global and Indian market and also provide an indication of the challenges therein thus enabling the exchange of ideas from both perspectives.
