----------------------------------------------------------------------------,Abstracts are invited in the following topics:
1.Biomass resources: recovery, production, pre-treatment, supply and logistics for feedstock from forestry, agriculture, animal residues and processing industry
2.Research and development of bioenergy conversion technology systems: combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, biological conversion and biofuels production (biodiesel, ethanol, bio-methanol, bio-synthetic-fuels, bio-hydrogen, direct/indirect liquefaction)
3.Demonstration and market implementation of bioenergy in the heat and electricity sector
4.Demonstration and market implementation of bioenergy in the transportation sector: private vehicles sector, public bus transport, hybrid systems for ships and trains, ecological cars, jet-biofuel, etc.
5.Combined application of biomass for energy, industrial products for climate protection: biofuels, chemicals, timber, board & panels, pulp for paper, animal-feed, activated-charcoal, drinking water, organic fertilisers, bio-refinery, etc.
6.Economics and benefits deriving from biomass process technologies, integration and simultaneous production: identification of most promising bioenergy complexes
7.International biofuels trade: benefits from Clean Development Mechanism projects implementation, green certificates trading, carbon trading for forestation, international CO2 Trade Off programmes. Project financing schemes, international and national banking facilities mechanisms
8.Strategy and policy issues: challenges and opportunities to support the EU Policies and Directives, the Kyoto Protocol, certificates, national and local regulations, globalisation and liberalisation, industry policies, security of energy supply, socio-economic impact (new jobs, education & training)
9.International Co-operation for accelerating the large-scale worldwide deployment of bioenergy
10.Biomass in the developing world: sustainable biomass use, poverty alleviation, rural development education and local manufacturing capacity building
