WPAC Conference & AGM — We Were There
Friday, September 21st, 2018
We attended the Wood Pellet Association of Canada’s (WPAC) 2018 Conference and AGM this week along with wood pellet, biomass and bioenergy professionals from across North America, Europe and Asia. It was a great opportunity to learn about the emerging bioenergy industry and the impact it is having around the globe.
The speakers were from various sectors of the industry including Christian Hansen, the Regional Director and Senior Trade Commissioner of Global Affairs Canada, Pacific regional office in Vancouver, Fiona Murray, Vice President of industrial products at CN Rail, as well as other leaders in the wood pellet and biomass/bioenergy industries in Canada and the US.
The conference focussed on international developments in the domestic and global wood pellet industry such as new research and development in the science of biomass, the emerging and fast-growing pellet market in Asia and the most innovative pellet and bioenergy technologies that are being produced right now.
It was an interesting and well-organized event, with great speakers, a beautiful venue and ample opportunities for learning and networking with professionals from all areas of this exciting market.
We even had the good fortune to sample, John Swaan’s world famous pellet-smoked ribs at Tuesday evening’s barbeque and networking event. John is the pellet expert at Future Metrics and he is considered to be the “grandfather of wood pellets”.
