Evolution of the Global Wood-based BioEnergy Sector

Over the past 15 years, the global wood-based BioEnergy sector has dramatically evolved
into what is now a major part of international forestry. Billions of dollars in
investments have been made to research, create and commercialize new energy sources,
fuels, chemicals, and value-added co-products. This session will examine the structural,
policy, and business infrastructures of this nascent global sector. In addition, business
and governmental leaders will share experiences, opportunities, and challenges in this
ever-changing arena.
