Biomass Innovation Center at Nipissing Univeristy

I recently attended a biomass conference at Nipissing Univeristy. The main focus of the biomass conference was on the forestry industry with little attention paid to biomass within the agricultural industry. None the less, there were still some speakers who related to our possible future interest in biomass.

I was aware during the conference that all of the power point presentations would be posted online, just in case anyone want to review them at any point in time. If you want to see it click here! However, I just discovered that there is videos of every speaker's talk. I have selected a few that I found to be most interesting and now we can share the experience together. :)

This gentleman should be very familiar...
