 Sting in the tail- Formic acid is not just for the bees, it could also provide both a way to convert unwanted carbon dioxide emissions into useful chemicals and a handy medium for storing and transporting hydrogen.

Lignofuels 2012
26 - 27 September, 2012 | Stockholm, Sweden
ACI's 3rd Annual Lignofuels Summit will be taking place in Stockholm, Sweden, on 26-27 September 2012. The two day conference will bring together key industry stakeholders to discuss ways of integrating processes and technologies for production of fuels from lignocellulosic feedstocks.
In addition to the two day conference, during the afternoon of Tuesday 25th September a limited number of conference attendees will have the opportunity to attend an exclusive site visit to Chemrec's BioDME plant as well as SunPine's CTO plant.

Biopesticide Market Opportunities
5 October, 2012 | Greenwich, London, UK
The Enterprise Europe Network SE UK and the Natural Resources Institute are jointly holding an event that will:
- provide an opportunity to hear from a range of pest management stakeholders on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the drivers for change in pest management technologies and practices in European agriculture and horticulture
- bring them together with representatives from companies in different parts of the industry wishing to learn about and exploit new markets for alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides
- stage a pre-arranged matchmaking network session to encourage and facilitate strategic partnering
The event is aimed at stakeholders in the current and new technologies and regulatory aspects of biopesticides and IPM along with the companies engaged in the manufacturing and supply chains that will be affected by changes in legislation, technology and associated farming practices and of course the farmers themselves and representative bodies from the Agricultural Sector.
Participants will be facilitated to make new contacts that might lead to both commercial and technology development partnerships, addressing new markets for biopesticides and other IPM component technologies.

More Crop Per Drop
29 November, 2012 | SCI, London, UK
Water is a key enabler to produce more food and biomass required for the world's increasing population. Accordingly, the focus of this event is on more efficient use of water. Knowing that agriculture uses less than 10% of the world’s total rainfall is not much help to populations in water stressed areas that cannot grow sufficient food or move to more productive zones.
Improving water productivity is therefore vital and has three main components: agronomic and plant science; water storage and transmission; and, governance relating to water access and competing uses. This meeting addresses agronomic and plant science particularly, whilst also examining the scale of the problem and potential impact of climate change; the issues for policy formation; and, the priorities for allocation of time and resources.
Timely solutions are necessary and can be found, but only by focussing on key deliverables. This meeting is intended to be the first in a series of events exploring solutions for raising water use efficiency and delivering more crop per drop.
Who should attend:
- Policy managers
- Academics in the field
- R&D managers
- Marketing and business development managers
- Investment decision makers
- Media
