PTF BPI 2020 registration is now live!
The International Conference on Processing Technologies for the Biobased Products Industries' (PTF BPI) started in October 2010 at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences in Kuchl, Austria. The conference provides a forum for discussions among researchers, producers, and consumers of forest and biobased products and serves as a catalyst for new research on product and process innovation that cover a host of subjects for application by technical managers, operations managers, and business managers.
The PTF BPI theme for “…providing a forum for discussions among industry technical and R&D directors, and university researchers for the advancement of new technologies….” continues to this day. The conference is held biennially and rotates between Europe and the USA.
PTF BPI 2020 at St. Simons Island, Georgia, is the sixth biennial conference and the third in the series in the USA at St. Simons Island. The original PTF BPI 2010 conference resulted in a published proceedings that is still available today (see below). PTF PBI 2016 resulted in a published book of extended abstracts and is available on ResearchGate. We hope you will consider joining us at PTF BPI 2020 to interact with professional colleagues and meet new researchers in an enjoyable and beautiful beachside atmosphere.

Out in the Piney Woods of East Texas, on the outskirts of a town that's supported a thriving logging industry for more than a century, there's a hulking power plant for sale. But it hasn't run since 2015 and never turned a profit. The most likely outcome is getting bought, dismantled, and hauled off to some place where producing electricity from burning wood makes economic sense; the numbers don't work here anymore.

The construction work Colorado Springs has been counting on — the City for Champions projects, road and infrastructure improvements, and apartment and home construction — is continuing despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
No one knows how long it will be able to proceed if things get worse. But for now, construction has been deemed by the state as an essential industry and is one of the area’s employment bright spots.
