We received this announcement from our alcohol-brewing friends at Project Gaia, and which we are happy to pass along!
I’d like to let you know that PGI and partners are holding a workshop in Antananarivo on Nov 12-14, 2012 focusing on small-scale alcohol production for fuel. It is funded in part by the World Bank and follows up on the results of the Practical Action-led 2009-2011 study Ethanol as a Household Fuel in Madagascar. The workshop will have a technical focus and include interactive models provided by Colombian distillery company EcoEnergy. Project Gaia will focus on policy issues of regulating ethanol as a fuel. Green Development AS, a carbon finance group, will discuss options for financing micro-distilleries.
The workshop announcement and description is attached for your reference. It is complete with details for registration.
