Asking the Questions that Need Answers -
Opportunities and Challenges in Considering BioFuels

George W. Bush
The Global Networking Symposium on BioEnergy takes a balanced, business-oriented
look at the opportunities and challenges surrounding biofuels:
• Who is investing in renewable energy and how do
traditional investors view this investment opportunity? Where is the smart
money going?
• What percentage of the world's arable land should
be used to produce renewable energy crops?
• What crops and plant life worldwide have the
greatest potential to be competitive in the global renewable fuel market?
• How to get consumers to
'buy in' to renewable energy strategies that at times
are not price competitive? What is the carrot?
• How will the demand for renewable fuel stock
impact the food value chain and food prices?
• What countries are leading the renewable energy
charge and how did they get there? What countries have the jump and where will
the demand be for renewable energy?
• What is the next generation of biofuels, how
long before they hit the market and what impact will they make?
• Can we produce enough renewable energy to make a
difference? If so, how long will it take and can we do it in time?

• How would a sudden drop in world energy prices
impact the renewable energy market?
• How will renewable energy impact traditional
energy markets and how do they view the industry?
