VANCOUVER – A recent talk at a University of British Columbia event by Highbury CEO Len Bykowski apparently made quite an impact.
The Advanced Biofuels Workshop – jointly sponsored by a group of organizations including Natural Resources Canada, the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, and the BC Bioenergy Network – was a two-day event including seminars, panel discussions and social networking events for industry, academic and government insiders. As part of a panel discussion, Len was given 15 minutes to outline Highbury’s commercialization strategy of achieving the design for the initial 125,000-tonne commercial facility in 2021 and subsequent roll-out to revenue.
“Today Len gave a presentation in sessions with heavy hitters from Carbon Engineering, Forge Hydrocarbons, LanzaTech Inc., Parkland, Benefuel, Ensyn, Greenfields Global, Logen Corp, POET, and Suncor,” said Highbury co-founder and Chief Technical Officer Paul Watkinson. “While sharing glasses of wine at a networking session afterwards, a university professor associate of mine who has led the UK in sustainable technology, and is one of the sharpest critics in renewable energy, said to me: ‘Your guy gave the best presentation today – organized, to the point and with a solid path forward.’ I’m sure the message was not lost on the BC government and others present.”
Responds Len: “It was a privelege and honour – and a lot of fun – to be included in a session of the best in biofuels. I see exciting times ahead for us all.”
