BIOCOM November Breakfast Meeting SD
Green Gas: How Biofuels Can Bring Energy Independence
Can biotech turn crude oil green? Learn how the Southern California life science community is using biotechnology to solve the energy crisis. See the Southern California debuts of Sapphire Energy, a startup that says it can turn algae, air and sunlight into gas for your car, and from Verenium, which says it can create clean-burning cellulosic ethanol from biomass sources like grasses and softwoods. When will biofuel dreams become reality? Drill down into the new technologies and investment opportunities that offer a clean and efficient solution for energy independence at this exclusive breakfast meeting.
