_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Biodiesel has remained a prominent topic of interest within national and global conversations concerning energy independence, climate protection and economic development. But what expectations should we have for its future viability and impact in the Five Borough area?
In this panel discussion local experts and practitioners representing commercial, policy-making, and academic perspectives will discuss how biodiesel might ultimately fit into the city’s long term energy picture and sustainability goals, provide a picture of the fuel source’s present market evolution within the context of New York, and weigh in on the growing debates and controversies surrounding the energy source from a local perspective.
All ARE WELCOME.
