Symposium on Renewable Energy and Products from Biomass and Waste (CIUDEN, Spain)

The symposium is organized by the Bioenergy Group of the University of Seville in collaboration with the International Energy Agency (IEA) Task 33 (Thermal gasification of biomass). Invited speakers will give presentations in the symposium, selected from the IEA-Task 33, Academia and Industry. Attendees will be both senior researchers and PhD students from academy, industry and governments. There will be a poster session in parallel to the presentations.
