EUBCE 2015: Call for Papers Receives Great Response
- 870 + contributions from 65 countries submitted for presentation for EUBCE 2015 in Vienna, Austria
- Scientists, specialists and professionals from biomass research institutions and industry will present future developments
- Global response: 30% of the contributions submitted from countries outside Europe
- Particular strong response: biomass potentials, gasification and pyrolysis, biorefineries and bioenergy environmental performances
All Further "European Countries" includes: France, Greece, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, Romania, Slovak Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Estonia.
All Further "Non-European Countries" includes: Brazil, USA, South Africa, Japan, Canada, India, Turkey, Chile, Korea, Mexico, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Colombia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Algeria,Egypt, Indonesia, Philippines, Iran, Nigeria, Argentina, Bangladesh, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Pakistan, Paraguay, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tanzania, Uzbekistan, Zambia.
The Call for Papers generated more than 870 contributions (abstracts) from 65 countries applying for presentation at the EUBCE Conference in Vienna, Austria, from 1 to 4 June 2015.
Proposals to present have come from the world's leading biomass energy research, industry and market institutions and cover the entire biomass value chain, including the latest applications, market developments, as well as business, political and globalization considerations. There has been a particularly strong response to biomass potentials, gasification and pyrolysis, biorefineries and bioenergy environmental performances.
About 30% of the contributions have been submitted from countries outside Europe, confirming the trend towards further internationalisation. The Asia / Pacific region accounts for around 15% of the proposals. In addition, more abstracts than ever have been submitted from emerging markets from around the world, particularly from Africa.
The abstracts are currently being reviewed and scored by the International Scientific Committee made up of 150 leading research and industry experts from the global biomass sector.
Dr. David Baxter coordinates the Scientific and Industry Committees to set up a well-balanced Conference Programme of highest international standards.
Dr. David Baxter: "It is a pleasure once again to see such a big response to the call for abstracts. As you will have seen, the programme has been adapted slightly for the 2015 conference in order to cater for the gradual evolution in the biomass, biofuels, bioenergy and biorefinery communities. Over the years we have witnessed how the once separate communities have merged and become progressively more dependent on one another, and indeed benefitting from each other’s advances. This is true not only on a technical level but also geographically. Indeed, one new feature in 2015 conference will be one Topic on integration of technologies. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all contributors of abstracts and the members of the scientific and industry committees for their enthusiastic contributions".
The Conference programme will be published in February 2015. It is coordinated by the European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre.
