2nd Argus Biomass Asia 2017 conference

Current and forecast biomass demand from South Korea and Japan has left many suppliers in the region scrambling to keep up. The programme in 2017 will focus on the value chain of the wood pellets and palm biomass markets, providing a glimpse into key suppliers, manufacturers, distribution channels, as well as the interaction of suppliers and buyers with consumers. Participants will be able to evaluate the competitive landscape and identify new business opportunities.
