WILMINGTON, NC (NEWS RELEASE) – We are privileged to bring to you a panel of three local biofuel experts to discuss technology, opportunities and obstacles to local biofuel research and development, manufacturing and distribution. In the current rapidly developing market for alternative fuels, these experts are positioned to provide insights in the potential future impact of biofuel on our local economy

* Shar Olivier – A principal of Biofuel Advance Research and Development, LLC. (BARD). BARD is building the first full composite plant in the north east region of the United States. Could such a plant be built here?
