Infocast's "Biomass Finance & Investment Summit" Scheduled for Miami in January 2008 Will Present a Unique Opportunity to Accurately Gauge the Current Pulse of the Industry

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - December 11, 2007) - The "Biomass Finance & Investment Summit" to be held in Miami Beach, Florida on January 23-25, 2008 has been designed by the event-producer, Infocast, to provide critical information about the status of the market and potential impacts of the Energy Bill. Developers, investors and other Biomass market participants will leave the summit ready to take part in this explosively growing industry.

With the demand on corn causing its price to soar, companies are realizing the need for new feedstock. A provision in the proposed Energy bill mandates that at least 36 billion gallons of "advanced biofuels," not from corn, be produced by 2016. It seems clear that, whatever the outcome of the current negotiations in Congress, remarkable business opportunities for the Biomass community will continue to develop.

The Summit provides a unique occasion to join over 40 key industry players as they explore the latest intelligence on the current market environment for putting together biomass deals. Infocast's unique format has drawn the support from a host of Supporting Organizations such as: DOE, U.S. EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP), USDA, Agenda 2020, Clean Fuels Development Coalition (CFDC), Biomass Energy Resource Center, Mississippi Technology Alliance (MTA), and USA Biomass Power Producers Alliance.

The Summit will offer tremendous learning and networking opportunities for developers, investors, lenders, technology developers and others in the biomass finance and investment community.
