FINAL CONFERENCE
TOMORROW’S BIOREFINERIES IN EUROPE
11-12 FEBRUARY 2014, BRUSSELS
The development and implementation of advanced biorefinery processes is of crucial importance for building a bio-based economy in Europe. However, the fledging biorefinery industry in Europe primarily relies on starch and sugar-based feedstocks, which are increasingly recognized as a drawback for the growth of this industry. Advanced biorefinery technologies that can use alternative, non-food feedstocks have been under development for some time, but Europe has yet to witness the implementation of these at commercial scale.
In 2010, as a result of the FP7 Joint Biorefinery call, three research projects, BIOCORE, EUROBIOREF, and SUPRABIO were commissioned with the aim of accelerating the development of advanced biorefinery technologies for the integrated manufacture of a range of bioproducts including energy vectors, chemicals and materials. These projects will reach completion in 2014 and thus it is timely to communicate the results and discuss the wider implications of these for tomorrow’s Biorefineries.
Now join the debate with the leading European biorefinery industries, experts and policymakers.
Conference 1 (on 11.2.2114) – Shaping policies for advanced biorefineries – is targeting policymakers and addressing policy factors that support and regulate Europe’s future biorefinery industry. A round table is part of the programme. Conference 2 (on 12.2.2014) – Technologies for advanced biorefineries – is targeting industry players and dedicated to presenting exploitable. A technology exhibition and partnering session is part of the programme.
