Keeping costs under control is a challenge for all Curaçao companies. This is especially true with continually rising oil prices. On Curaçao, the worldwide oil crisis’ effects are felt as fuel and utility prices are rising.

To release ourselves from this over reliance on oil, we need to look for alternative energy sources. One energy source is waste. Waste can be converted into biofuels to produce energy. To help bring these new energy from waste technologies to Curaçao, the Curaçao Business Council for Sustainable Development (Bedrijvenplatform Milieu - BPM) and the U.S. Consulate General have invited a waste to energy expert from the U.S. to give a presentation about converting waste to biofuels.

BPM cordially invites you to attend a presentation by Mr. Fernando Berton. He will be presenting a fascinating look at domestic and international innovations in technologies that can convert solid waste to renewable energy and biofuels. The presentation titled: "Conversion Technologies: What Are They, Where Are They, Are They Safe" will include photos of existing operations in Japan and Europe as well as emissions data from various operations..

Come to personally experience how Curaçao can move into the future of energy production, by converting what we now throw away into low cost energy.
