Supergen Bioenergy Hub at EUBCE 2021, 26-29 April, online
The 29th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE) will be taking place online during 26-29 April and we are delighted to announce that several researchers from our member institutions will be taking part, presenting their latest research in the areas below, through a mixture of plenary and keynote presentations, oral presentations and posters:
-
- Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage
- Sustainability of bioenergy systems
- Bio-gas fast pyrolysis
- Biomass resource potential
- Technologies for biomass valorisation
- Biofuel blending and purification
The overarching conference topics for this year’s EUBCE are:
Topic 1: Sustainable resources for decarbonising the economy
Topic 2: Biomass conversion for bioenergy
Topic 3: Biomass conversion to intermediate bioenergy carriers, sustainable biofuels and bio-based products
Topic 4: Sustainable bioeconomy – Impacts and policies
Topic 5: Bioenergy integration
This year the Hub will be represented at EUBCE 2021 by:
