Strategic Biomass Solutions
Announcing the 9th Annual Southern BioProducts and Renewable Energy Conference! This year's theme: “Growing the Regional Biobased Economy.”
The purpose of the Strategic Biomass Solutions program is to strengthen targeted biomass research and development among Mississippi universities and the private sector to break down the hurdles to commercializing renewable energy resources. Biomass involves converting biological materials such as livestock and food processing waste into energy. Biomass research and commercialization may someday reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil while creating value-added opportunities for Mississippi farmers.
"Investing in renewable energy is just like investing for your retirement: You must have a diversified portfolio and you cannot wait till you are about to retire to start investing.”
Our country and the world need a diversified supply of energy sources and we cannot wait till the fossil fuels are about to expire to start investing in renewable energy with an honest conviction.
The vision of the Strategic Biomass Solutions is to foster viable commercial enterprises based on Mississippi’s natural biomass resources and further the development of near-term technologies through university based applied R&D.
