Program:
These value-added biobased products can displace their fossil-based counterparts, thus contributing to the transition towards a circular and climate-neutral economy while creating new business opportunities for regional growth.
In these challenging times in terms of energy and raw materials supply and environmental concerns, biorefineries are expected to play a crucial role contributing firmly to the transition towards a circular bioeconomy development model.
This Symposium will bring together the latest development for biorefineries industrial deployment with special focus in these areas:
- Lab-scale developments: Biomass resources and characterization
- Biochemical, chemical, thermochemical, and chemo mechanical platforms: biomass upgrading processes
- Techno-economic and environmental assessment of biorefineries
- Innovative fractionation and -conversion processes
- New chemicals and materials
Contributions are welcome in the following non-limitative list of topics:
