Farm to Fuel Summit


Florida's Premier Renewable Energy Event!

Now in its 5th year, the Farm to Fuel Summit has established itself as
Florida's premiere renewable energy event. Farm to Fuel is the
ultimate forum for producers of biomass electricity, fuels and
chemicals utilizing the state?s vast biomass resources.


The Farm to Fuel Summit is the
major gathering place where stakeholders assemble each year to help
advance the development of the state's bioenergy industry. In August
2010, leaders from the agricultural, government, academic, technology,
and financial communities will again gather to report on their
activities, consider the next steps forward, and share their progress
in reaching the commercial production of biofuels and renewable energy
in Florida.
