Singapore (PRWEB) July 23, 2007 -- In the EU, leaders have committed to setting a binding minimum target of 10% of biofuels usage in transportation by 2020, on the condition that 2nd generation biofuels become commercially available and that the production of such fuels is sustainable.

By far, 2nd generation biofuels such as Fischer-Tropsch Biomass-To-Liquids (BTL) is proven to be one of the most promising renewable energy technologies for fuels due to their large potential for CO2 savings and increased efficiency. And as technology improves, production costs for BTL could be lowered to justify large scale BTL production.

NESTE OIL - the developer of NexBTl 2nd generation biofuel has plans to become the leader in BTL. The challenges facing the industry include the next available BTL technologies and their commercialization prospects, advanced catalyst technologies to optimize biomass conversion, logistics barriers for BTL project, the true net energy balance of any BTL project, assessing the sustainability of biomass feedstock, competition for biomass feedstock - Heat, Biofuels, CHP, the bioenergy potential for Europe and many more.

Following the success of BTLtec conference last year in Munich, CMT is pleased to announce 2nd BTLtec conference to be held in Vienna Austria from 12-13 September 2007.

An authoritative panel of experts will share their latest research activities and views on where the industry is heading. The above industry issues will be further discussed too.
