(AP) -- FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) - Clemson University is hosting a meeting to talk about ways South Carolina can expand its use of bioenengy.

The 2010 South Carolina BioEnergy Summit takes place on Thursday at Clemson's Pee Dee Research and Education Center in Florence.

The free meeting includes presentations and round-table discussions on technical issues facing biomass projects and expanding the biofuels market.

Former Queensland, Australia premier Peter D. Beattie came to Clemson in August as an adviser for global economic development strategies. He is planning to discuss international export opportunities for alternative energy.
