Speakers are invited to participate in the IBC ’09 (International Biorefinery Conference 09) Conference hosted by the State University of New York – College of Environmental Science and Forestry being held October 6 - 9, 2009 in Syracuse, New York, USA. More than 500 attendees are expected after the highly successful ICB ’07 held in October, 2007 in Beijing, China. IBC ’09 will the second conference in the series and it will be the first sponsored by the newly established International Union of Biorefineries (IUB). We expect to build up on the synergy of biofuel, renewable chemicals, and sustainable development in every corner of the world. The 2009 theme is “Sustainability and Triple-Bottom-Line” and technical program organizers welcome any presenters with new and interesting topics related to the biorefinery. Bioproduct industry personnel, suppliers, students and academics are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts. Papers presented at IBC ’09 will be peer reviewed and published on reputable journals. A conference abstract proceedings CD will be distributed to all attendees.

Please send your submissions and/or suggestions to Shijie Liu.
