2011 International Biomass Conference & Expo | May 2-5, 2011 | America’s Center | St. Louis, Missouri

Welcome to Dear Attendee,

Denver

Welcome to the 5th annual International Biomass Conference & Expo, an event co-produced by Biomass Power & Thermal and Biorefining Magazine and organized by BBI International. We are pleased to bring the world’s largest biomass event to Denver, a hub of energy research geographically nestled on the border of the agricultural lands of the Great Plains to the east and the vast forest resources of the Rocky Mountains to the West.

The region is home to some of this country’s most important research facilities and we are indebted to many of them for their assistance in forming the content we’ve assembled for this year’s event.

Our dynamic program features five tracks exploring the production of heat, power, fuels and pellets from a broad range of biomass inputs. In total, we’ve organized 36 panels that will unfold over the next three days and we are confident that the International Biomass Conference & Expo is the industry’s most robust assembly of biomass professionals and presentations available.

We are indebted to the esteemed industry professionals who helped us select speakers, organize panels and develop a world-class agenda. With hundreds of speaker abstracts submitted from more than 20 nations, this year’s program reflects the global nature of our industry.

More than an educational forum, the International Biomass Conference & Expo is also a premier networking event and the world’s pre-eminent biomass trade show experience. This year’s Expo includes more than 200 exhibitors. Please take time to visit our exhibitors during the numerous Expo networking events over the next three days. For your convenience, the Expo doors will remain open during all breakout panel sessions.

I’d like to take a moment to thank the five organizations that agreed to open their doors to our attendees as tour hosts. This year’s agenda features the largest tour offering ever assembled at the International Biomass Conference & Expo and we’d like to recognize Custom Instrumentation Services Corporation, Community Power Corporation, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Boulder County, and the New Belgium Brewery for their hospitality.

Finally, I’d like to personally thank our sponsors and supporting organizations for their contributions to both the industry and this event. We certainly couldn’t do this without them.

As always, we urge you to help us enrich your conference experience. Feel free to stop by the registration area if you have any questions. We’re eager to assist you.

Enjoy the show!

CONFERENCE GREENING EVENT GREENING COLORADO CONVENTION CENTER SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

BBI International is dedicated to operating our entire company and all of our events with a zero waste and carbon neutral mission. We have replaced non earth-friendly items with sustainable ones and educated others on how they can do the same. By focusing on the 4 R’s of Sustainability―Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle―BBI aims to leave the smallest footprint possible where we operate and where we travel.

The mission of the sustainability program at the Colorado Convention Center is to pioneer greening efforts in Denver’s premier convention facility. This is achieved by incorporating, encouraging and implementing a sustainable methodology and encouraging green practices with our customers within the meetings industry.

Below are the sustainability and greening efforts that will be in effect at the Colorado Convention Center during the International Biomass Conference & Expo: • Photovoltaic panels on roof capable of continually providing 300KW of power. This generated over 400,000 kwh annually The center purchases 25% of their energy consumed as wind power • Completed a major Lighting Retrofit: Total Annual Energy savings (kWh) 882,160. Annual cost savings $63,500 • On the interior and exterior uplighting we installed LED lamp/retrofits for a dramatic reduction from the original (2) 400 watt metal halides in each light.

• Converted the lobby “floating clouds” from 100 watt metal halides to a 24 watt LED • Timed lighting system controlled by electricians allows lighting levels to be at 50% during event move-in and move out, 25% for cleaning and maintenance times and 100% only during event hours in occupied space.

• Utilization of the citywide steam tube and shell system for heating, which allows for lower preset temperatures when building is unoccupied and more efficient control.

• A central underground chilled water loop, allowing for greater efficiency for cooling the convention center and customized to user needs • All exterior glass is now low E grade to assist in the maintenance of building temperatures.

• Day lighting practices used in all lobby areas.

• Monitoring and control of dock doors by security through facility walks focusing on closing doors not in use.

• Centralized location in downtown Denver means walking distance to restaurants and hotels • Light rail stop at the convention center serving the greater metro Denver area.

• Two B-Cycle Stations located on property • Parking Garage has permanently dedicated complimentary parking spaces to Hybrid vehicles.

• Heppa filters in vacuums used by housekeeping department and throughout the building.

• Use of micro-fiber clothes by housekeeping department.

• Conversion of all existing toilets and urinals to low flush. Water savings translates to be 1,000 gallons if all were flushed simultaneously.

• Old toilets and urinals were donated to local gravel company to be used as road base for local construction projects.

• Motion sensor sinks in bathrooms.

• Xeriscape of the landscape along 14th Street to reduce water usage.

• Recycling of plastic and glass bottles, aluminum/tin cans, paper and cardboard products in a co-mingled, single stream program throughout the facility, in every meeting room and on the exhibit hall floor.

• No compactor charge to clients for recycled items.

• Kitchen compost program.

• Reclaim room is operated for recycled office supplies used in all administrative offices.

• Reusable leftover conference and event materials are placed in our Reclaim Room and donated to local non-profits and organizations.

• Recycle used batteries, oil, ballast, fluorescent light bulbs, and aerosol cans.

• Over 90% of housekeeping products are Green Seal Certified or equivalent • Contribution of 100 Trees in the name of our clients to the Mile High Million Tree Campaign.

• Mindful purchasing process evaluating with “green” products whenever possible.

• Reports and documents produced paperless whenever possible.

• “Champion for the Environment” Employee Award program.

• Food Donation Program.

• Option for china instead of paper products.

• Option for local and organic meals.

• Water station options available vs. water bottles.

• Option for bulk condiments.

• Use of post-consumer content office products in administrative office.

• In 2010, the center adopted 8 acres of and along side the Platt River to maintain its natural habitat by organizing various efforts.

• LEED certified building operations and maintenance certification by the US Green Building Council.

• ISO 14001 EMS Certified as part of the City and County of Denver certification in 2009.

The Delta T moisture (MC) sensing and control system solves the two main problems that adversely affect commonly used moisture (MC) sensing and control methods. The solu on uses a rugged, reliable, and accurate “inside-the-dryer” MC sensor and a model-based, proprietary control algorithm that maintains the target MC in spite of changes in evapora ve load to the dryer caused by produc on changes or MC changes in the feed. By combining these two exclusive capabili es, the Delta T guarantees at least 30% and o en achieves as much as 45% improvement (standard devia on reduc on) in MC control compared to commonly used control methods that seldom work because of their lack of a theore cal basis. The two curves show before and a er Delta T MC distribu on curves. Each curve has the same upper MC limit, but the Delta T improved control curve shows ghter MC control and a higher mean MC which means more MC can be sold with the product. The following advantages should allow Pellet Fuels Ins tute’s upper MC limits to be met without sacrificing produc on by deliberately over drying: Inside-the-dryer MC sensing Usually so ware only Pays out in 3-6 months Operator-friendly No learning me required Near universally applicable Reduces unit energy usage Improves product quality
