With the European Directive targeting a 5.75% biofuel content in diesel and motor fuel pools by 2010, it is now more vital than ever to resolve all technical issues to improve efficiency of the production of biofuels and answer the questions relating to the blending of biofuels into the refinery gasoline pools and diesel pools. The AFTC will tackle these issues head on with contributions from leading specialists in biofuel technology such as Neste Jacobs, UOP and CDTech as well as feature presentations from operating companies such as Ceská rafinérská and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) on their experiences.

Utilities have placed increased demands on their supply chain organisations to lower costs, improve supplier performance and increase market expertise. With the global expansion of utility companies and the on-going development and redevelopment of power plants in regions such as Eastern Europe and Asia, especially China, there has never been a better time to develop international partnerships than now.
Together with suppliers, Utilities have had to move towards establishing new partnerships, developing new market expertise in areas such as commodity brokerage, whilst delivering supply chain savings to operating budgets.
The International Power Summit will provide this link. IPS 2008 will present the industry with the most effective platform for partnerships at both a technical and a strategic level.
This is the ideal opportunity to reach all those buyers and suppliers from the traditional Western and USA markets together with delegates from the new emerging markets from areas such as Central and Eastern Europe, India, China and South East Asia.
IPS 2008 will provide each and every delegate with a golden opportunity to share their experiences with others, either in the roundtable discussions, the panel discussions and workshops or during the numerous social and networking events that will run throughout the International Power Summit 2008.
Registering now for IPS 2008 will guarantee your chance to meet one-to-one with Spain’s top three utility companies. Iberdrola, Endesa and Red Electricity have already confirmed their attendance at IPS 2008 and where better to meet than in one of the most interesting and exciting cities in the world.
