F.O. Licht World Ethanol and Biofuels 2011

POET Vice President of Corporate Affairs Doug Berven will outline POET’s views on the future of ethanol from both corn and cellulose and opportunities for growth at F.O. Licht World Ethanol and Biofuels 2011 in Barcelona, Spain.

On Tuesday, Nov. 8, Berven will host a roundtable titled “Biofuel Growth Strategies.” It will address topics including improving on the process of producing ethanol from corn and Project LIBERTY, a 25 million-gallon-per-year ethanol plant that will use corn cobs, leaves, husks and some stalk as feedstock. He will also discuss the ethanol market in coming years.

The roundtable will be held at 2 p.m. at the W Barcelona hotel.
