Coskata Inc., a developer of technology for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals, will be in Abu Dhabi next week speaking at the World Future Energy Summit, an event expected to draw over 25,000 leaders from energy and environmental industries.

Wes Bolsen, Coskata’s Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of Government Affairs, will provide an overview of the commercialization efforts of the advanced biofuels industry around the world. He will share insights into the competitive advantages that distinguish the most promising advanced biofuel start ups, and explain which technologies are ready today to help supply the world’s energy and transportation needs.
