EUROPEAN CONFERENCE on BIOREFINERY RESEARCH
19 and 20 October 2006
Helsinki – Marina Congress Center
A major conference on biorefinery research
organised by the European Commission
with the support of the Finnish Presidency
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Biorefineries use renewable raw materials to produce energy together with a wide range of everyday commodities in an economic manner. Decreasing our dependency on fossil fuels reserves and boosting rural development, biorefineries are seen as a very promising route to meeting our aims for sustained prosperity and preserving the environment.
This conference organised by the European Commission with support of the Finnish Presidency aims to present the industrial perspectives of current and future biorefineries and to identify opportunities for and synergies among the European stakeholders. The conference will provide a forum for a technical review of the state of the art for biomass fractionation and conversion technologies. Furthermore, RTD success stories will be described and analysed, and the existing European technology platforms on biofuels, forest-based sector, plants for the future and white biotechnology will be presented.
A particular emphasis will be placed on the EU and national policies contributing to the use of renewable raw materials. The potential of the various biorefinery concepts will be put in the context of market conditions and the possible financing mechanisms will be examined.
WHO SHOULD TAKE PART?
The conference is designed to attract high-level participants from the spheres of research, science and technology, industry and policy making from all over Europe. This event should be of special value for those interested in biorefinery research in the Seventh Framework Programme.
PROGRAMME OUTLINE
- Keynote addresses by leading industrialists and government and Commission officials. The Commissioner for Science and Research, Janez Potočnik, will participate in the opening session.
- European research success stories on biomass feedstock & production, advances in biochemical and thermochemical conversion and techno-economic and environmental analysis.
- European and national policies stimulating the use of renewable raw materials.
- The potential for the different biorefinery concepts. Creation of suitable market conditions.
- European technology platforms on biofuels, forest-based sector, plants for the future and white biotechnology.
- The future of research on biorefinery technologies in the EU. Actions foreseen in the Seventh Framework Programme.
EXHIBITION
A poster session will display complementary information on centres of excellence and activities currently under way. If you are interested in presenting a poster, please contact the conference helpdesk.
REGISTRATION
Participation is free of charge. The attendance will be limited to 400 participants.
