California Bioresources Alliance 9th Annual Symposium
The 2014 symposium was held at the U.C. Davis Buehler Alumni Center, on June 3rd and 4th, 2014, and included sessions on legislative and policy developments in California addressing bioresources, status of waste-to-energy in California, new biosolids-to-energy projects and research, evaluation of biogas systems, and bioresources and the drought.
On the afternoon of June 4th, Clean World Partners gave a tour of the new U.C. Davis Anaerobic Digester. The symposium brings together industry professionals, municipalities, regulators, legislators, state and federal agencies, students, researchers, financers and others involved in California organic residuals.
