The Conference Program covers
BIOMASS RESOURCES
BIOMASS CONVERSION TO HEAT, ELECTRICITY, AND BIO-PRODUCTS
FUELS FROM BIOMASS
INDUSTRIAL DEMONSTRATION AND MARKET IMPLEMENTATION
POLICIES AND ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY
Each of these topics will be discussed in depth from different points of view and by lecturers with broad professional backgrounds. Prof. Josef Spitzer, Conference General Chairman of the 18th EU BC&E, remarks: “Presenters and participants will learn about the latest developments in these conference topics and to exchange expertise.
