Topic 3: Biomass technologies and conversion to intermediate bioenergy carriers and products of the bioeconomy
Monday 27 April
Three consecutive oral sessions for Topic 3.7, “Bio-based chemicals and materials”. Starting at 13:30, the first session, 3AO.3, on “New Processes for Bioproducts” addresses new approaches for bio-based chemicals and materials, and new products types; these include a hybrid bio-thermochemical route for the production of bio-isoprene, a surface cleaning product from mango residues and sunscreens formulated with nanoparticles of modified Kraft lignins.
Stay tuned for our preview of Topic 4: Bioeconomy sustainability, impacts and policies next week!

Student Awards 2020 - Topic 3
|
|
To encourage high-quality work among young researchers, the EUBCE Student Awards are delivered in recognition of the most remarkable and outstanding research work in the field of Biomass on the occasion of the EUBCE. The Scientific Committee selected international students who submitted abstracts for EUBCE conference programme. The award is meant to honour students with extraordinary achievements in their scientific activities and encourages young researchers to engage themselves.

Parallel Event: Bioenergy - The overlooked contributor to the 1.5°C climate objective
|
|
Tuesday 28 April 13:30 – 16:00
 Bioenergy production and use can make a valuable contribution to the sustainable development agenda. With careful management, various forms of bioenergy can help countries meet growing energy demand while concomitantly realizing carbon emissions reductions, climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts and improvements to citizens’ livelihoods. These benefits are best obtained through effective monitoring, research and information sharing as they support the development of comprehensive national bioenergy policies.
br>In this context, the sustainability of bioenergy has been approached in different ways and by different initiatives and organizations. In 2011 the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP), an initiative composed by over 50 governments and 26 International Organizations, published a set of 24 sustainability indicators for bioenergy. The indicators contain descriptions and annotated methodologies to guide countries in assessing the sustainability of their domestic bioenergy production and use.
The GBEP indicators have currently been implemented in fourteen countries (Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Germany, Ghana, Kenya, Indonesia, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Netherlands, Paraguay and Vietnam) and Germany implemented the indicators for a second time. Additional countries are currently in the process of implementing the indicators. In light of the lessons learned, GBEP has developed an Implementation Guide on the use of the GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy to improve their practicality and provide related guidance for users.
This side event will give the opportunity to shed light on the role of bioenergy in the climate goals (including considering the recent IPCC report on Climate Change and Land) and share the experience of GBEP and other relevant international institutions regarding the joint effort towards sustainable development of bioenergy.
