Produced by BBI International, the 2013 International Biomass Conference & Expo is currently accepting nominations for two new awards at this year’s exciting event - the Groundbreaker of the Year Award and the Excellence in Bioenergy Award. These awards are designed to help recognize those individuals and companies who have contributed and helped build the bioenergy industry. In addition, the awards will reach out to and encourage the next generation of leaders in the industry.

Groundbreaker of the Year Award

Significant quantities of money and energy must be invested into a bioenergy project before construction can begin. Companies and organizations that reach the groundbreaking stage represent the minority of potential bioenergy projects. The dedication and perseverance needed to navigate design, funding, permitting, purchase agreements and community acceptance indicates extreme aptitude worthy of acknowledgement. The Groundbreaker of the Year Award recognizes the company or organization that has significantly advanced the bioenergy industry by breaking ground and making meaningful headway on a commercial scale biomass-to-energy project.
