The 2nd International Conference on Bioresource Technology
for Bioenergy, Bioproducts & Environmental Sustainability (BIORESTEC) will
build upon the successful 1st BIORESTEC conference held in October 2016. We
will once again convene, bringing together researchers in academia and
industry, as well as policymakers, to discuss the progress made during the
intervening two years and the latest trends in biotechnology, bioenergy, and
biobased products.
The programme will be curated by a committee of world class academic leaders in
their respective fields with key topic areas including:
- Pretreatment and de-construction of biomass/bioresources
- Bioresources (including waste) recovery and recycling, including microbial
electrochemical systems
- Bioresources for biofuels (liquid and gaseous)
- Bioresources for biobased chemicals & products, including gas
fermentation and in situ product recovery
- Thermochemical conversion of bioresources
- Biorefineries and white biotechnology
- Systems approach: bioresource systems analysis, life cycle assessment (LCA),
carbon accounting, nutrient-energy-water (NEW) nexus
- Industrial applications and up-scaling
- Bioresource policy & economics
