Pete Stewart Gives Keynote Address at the Wood-Based Biofuels, Biomass and Bioenergy Conference
From the May 2010 Forest2Mill newsletter.
Forest2Market President and CEO Pete Stewart opened the Wood-based
Biofuels, Biomass and Bioenergy Conference in Baton Rouge on April 22 by reviewing the state of the
forest products industry and looking at demand from European and domestic sources. The conference
was organized by the Louisiana State University AgCenter’s Forest Products Development Center.
Because of the announcement by Point BioEnergy that it will supply European markets from a
$124 million, 450,000 ton pellet facility in Baton Rouge, Stewart’s discussion of the pellet
industry was of particular interest. Read an article, written by Ted Griggs and published in the
Baton Rouge Advocate, about the pellet industry portion of Stewart's keynote address
