European workshop on success and visions for bioenergy in Salzburg
22 March 2007 - 23 March 2007
Austria
Announcement and Invitation for Papers and Posters
Bioenergy success stories
On March 22-23 in Salzburg, an intensive European workshop will bring together European experts and industry leaders to share the secrets of success in the field of thermal processing of biomass and provide a vision for the European bioenergy industry.
The Conference is organised by Thermalnet - an EU Network in thermal biomass conversion - sponsored by Intelligent Energy Europe.
Status and vision presentations
Invited experts from across the bioenergy and biomass field will give an overview of state of the art and outline their vision for the future of the bioenergy industry.
Success stories
Case studies by industry leaders will provide an overview of the latest achievements in demonstration and commercial plants.
Workshops
Workshops will be held to discuss how to accelerate both rate of implementation and the successes of bioenergy processes. Each workshop will be chaired by an authority in the relevant area supported by a rapporteur and they will present the findings of the workshop in the concluding session. The workshop report will form a key component in the proceedings.
Scope
The workshop focuses on thermal processing technologies and products. Topics include:
• biofuels
• biomass pretreatment
• biorefineries
• combustion
• environment
• gasification
• heat and power
• hydrogen
• legislation
• policy
• pyrolysis
• renewable chemicals
• system analysis
• transport fuels
Papers, posters and proceedings
Papers and posters are invited on any topic within the scope of the conference. Accepted papers will be published in a book of proceedings. All participants will receive a copy of the proceedings and the book will be widely available for purchase and dissemination.
Please send the proposed title and author(s) details and a short abstract (250 words maximum) for the proposed paper and poster to Robert Fenton by 31 December 2006. Papers must be delivered within one week of the workshop in the correct format and on agreed topics. The editor’s decision will be final.
