With well in excess of 100 delegates attending and first-class speakers presenting, the Biofuels East 2010 Conference, hosted in Cambridge on 17th March, offered a timely perspective on the contribution that the UK can make to the development of low carbon biofuels.
Bianca Forte and Richard Parker
The global biofuels industry is expanding and diversifying in response to the need to address issues of climate change and energy security. Richard Parker, BioEnergy Development Director at Renewables East, opened the Biofuels East 2010 Conference urging stakeholders to consider the economic opportunities available for UK Plc in the biofuels sector.

Biogas Handbook
One of the main environmental problems of today's society is the continuously increasingproduction of organic wastes. In many countries, sustainable waste management as well as waste prevention and reduction have become major political priorities, representing an important share of the common efforts to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and
to mitigate global climate changes. Uncontrolled waste dumping is no longer acceptable
today and even controlled landfill disposal and incineration of organic wastes are not
considered optimal practices, as environmental standards hereof are increasingly stricter and
energy recovery and recycling of nutrients and organic matter is aimed.
