Several parallel events and workshops offer a deep insight into specific topics along the most recent technologies market and business trends and address the global decision makers from industry, research, finance and politics. The workshops and events will be hold as additional half-day-sessions that are open to all registered conference participants of the EUBCE 2016. Some of the main topics are:
EU support for bioenergy
On Monday 6 June 2016, 13:30 - 15:15 the session “EU support for bioenergy demonstration projects: current state and developments” will provide an overview of the current state and developments of bioenergy and advanced biofuels projects currently ongoing under the frame of the European Industrial Bioenergy Initiative (EIBI) and the EU framework programmes for Research & Innovation (FP7, H2020) and under different funding instruments such as NER 300, the BESTF ERANET programme. Experiences from projects will be shared with the audience and a panel will discuss challenges and opportunities identified.
Green dream or reality?
Under the motto “Green dream or reality?” the mobilisation of forest bioenergy will be discussed on Thursday 9 June 2016, 09:00 - 12:00. It is expected that the share of modern bioenergy in the future global energy mix, notably from forest biomass, will increase significantly. Countries with mature forestry sectors from the boreal and temperate biomes will play an important role in the mobilisation of forest biomass. In this event a number of challenges, key opportunities and innovative solutions for forest bioenergy mobilisation will be discussed by experts from academia, government and industry.
Dutch-Colombian co-operation
A workshop on “Sustainable oil palm, sugar cane and other agri-residues as biobased feedstocks” will take place on Monday 6 June 2016, 13:30 - 17:00. Recent initiatives have been implemented in an Embassy-lead Dutch-Colombian collaborative programme to develop economic and sustainable biomass supply chains. Recognizing the opportunities and finding innovative solutions to valorise the current biomass potential is the main objective of this programme. A number of projects in this programme have led to new and innovative insight, models, processes or products regarding the valorisation of biomass. These ideas and their implementation not only pertain to Colombia, but are valid and applicable in many regions where large amounts of Biomass could become available, i.e. the larger part of Latin America, West and East Africa, south-East Asia. This workshop will present the results of the projects within the framework of the Dutch-Colombian co-operation.
Production of advanced liquid biofuels
The workshop “Long-Term Prospects for Advanced Liquid Biofuels” will present the technology status and market prospects for production of advanced liquid biofuels, drawing upon perspectives of leaders in energy project finance, biofuel industry and the aviation industry for which advanced liquid biofuels will be vital to provide a sustainable long-term fuel supply. On Tuesday 7 June 2016, 16:00 - 18:00, panelists will discuss the key challenges to expanding the advanced biofuels market and how to meet them.
Events and workshops on biomass
Biomass experts from all over the world will be meeting at EUBCE 2016, the 24th Biomass Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam from 6-9 June 2016.
