Information about four environmental/energy conferences in Ukraine during 2008 from USUBC Board Member Ken Bossong
January 2, 2008
I.) CONFERENCE - BIOFUELS IN UKRAINE - MYTH OR REALITY?
International Conference & Exhibition
April 1-4, 2008
RUS Hotel
4 Hospitalna St.
Kyiv 01601 Ukraine

Ukraine has a great potential for development of alternative and renewable energy sources that will allow for strengthening the environment and energy security, providing the agricultural and transport sectors of the Ukrainian economy with biofuels of its own production and consequently reducing the national dependency on oil imports. European Union supports the ambitious expansion of biofuel production for internal consumption and export. The agricultural product processing growth rate in the EU exceeds the cultivation land growth rate thus creating additional favorable conditions for Ukraine for dynamic development of the biofuel industry.
International Industrial Conference "Biofuels. Ukraine-2008" officially supported by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine will provide a platform for discussion of perspectives for biofuel industry development not only in Ukraine but in the region in general. Representatives of the Ukrainian Government, the European Commission, international financial institutions, agricultural producers from Ukraine and CIS, suppliers of modern technologies, manufacturers of modern equipment, investment and financial institutions, Ukrainian and foreign leading experts will participate in the Conference.
Open discussion will address all hot issues related to the quality and availability of feedstock, development of the national standard system, legal framework and financial aspects, investment opportunities that will facilitate strengthening the dialogue between state authorities and businesses as well as enhancing business contacts and cooperation among Ukrainian biofuel manufacturers and agricultural enterprises, and their foreign partners and potential investors.
In the frameworks of the conference the Exhibition will be held to promote cutting edge technologies, modern equipment and innovative solutions.
The Investment Round Table will present growing investment and business opportunities in biofuel sector of Ukraine to the international financial institutions, business circles and private investors.
The comprehensive Workshops for beginners will be offered by sections "Bioethanol" and "Biodiesel" to those willing to launch new biofuel businesses.
The event will provide participants with unrivalled business and networking opportunities.
