Telford, UK
Energy Now Expo 2018
– The opportunities now and in the future
Changes in government policy, subsidy support and Brexit
have led many to question whether investment in renewable energy is still a
practical, viable option. Taking place on 7th & 8th February 2018, once again at the Telford International Centre, Shropshire; the
Energy Now Expo 2018 will focus on the best options available to farmers and
landowners, both in the immediate and longer-term future.
Being held with the support of the NNFCC, the 2018 event
will see the return of the exhibition of over 150 suppliers, together with the
one-to-one advice clinic and the multi-streamed conference in which the latest
sector news and plans will be discussed and opportunities evaluated. Organisers
are pleased to announce that the NNFCC’s CEO Dr Jeremy Tomkinson will be taking
part in the conference, chairing a session on energy crops and presenting on advanced
biofuels and the new opportunities for bio based feedstocks in a biomass
session, both on Thursday 8th February. Other speakers include:

and future direction of this sector explained.
