 ications of Present and Emerging Technologies
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The technologies used so far to produce biofuels are fairly sim
 ple but the need to increase biofuel availability to meet growing demand\,
  maximize feedstock use\, reduce pressure on land and diminish production 
 costs is triggering a shift towards more sophisticated technologies. Exper
 ts will discuss the risks and opportunities arising from this technologica
 l revolution and the likely impacts of the new technology on the competiti
 veness of developing countries in the biofuels sector.ParticipationThe mee
 ting may be of particular interest to government officials and representat
 ives of the private sector dealing with the energy\, technology\, agricult
 ure and trade sectors.Member States of UNCTAD are requested to nominate ex
