NJAU-Lakehead-Ningbo University：Int’l Virtual Symp. – Sustainable Future of Renewable Biomass
In the evening 19:00 pm (Beijing time), 8 December 2025, “International Virtual Symposium – Sustainable Future of Renewable Biomass”, jointly organized by Lakehead University, Nanjing Agricultural University (NJAU) and College of Science and Technology of Ningbo University, was successfully held. The leitmotif of the virtual symposium is the path towards sustainable future of renewable biomass as one of the driving forces towards generating carbon-neutral biofuels and multifunctional bioproducts. The Symposium will serve as a vibrant forum for exchanging ideas and sharing knowledge on the state-of-the-art innovative technologies while considering societal implications. Global and local challenges and opportunities – as well as future novel processes – will be presented, discussed, and debated.

Opening address by Prof. Zhen Fang
Good evening in China and Japan, good morning in North America, and good afternoon in Europe. I am Prof. Zhen Fang from Nanjing Agricultural University.
Thank you for joining the International Virtual Symposium on Sustainable Future of Renewable Biomass.
It is very nice to meet so many old and new friends.
It is an immense pleasure for me to start the symposium with an opening address.
Distinguished Experts, Guests, and a Prominent Audience.
It is my great honor to organize and co-chair, together with Professors Janusz Kozinski and Wo-na Ding, the international Virtual Symposium on Sustainable Future of Renewable Biomass.
The leitmotif of the virtual symposium is to explore a path towards sustainable future of renewable biomass as one of the driving forces towards generating carbon-neutral biofuels and multi-functional bioproducts.
The Symposium will serve as a vibrant forum for exchanging ideas and sharing knowledge on the state-of-the-art innovative technologies while considering societal implications.
Global and local challenges and opportunities – as well as future novel processes – will be presented, discussed, and debated.
We are delighted to share with you 8 invited presentations offered by experts selected from Japan, Germany, China, the United Kingdom, Poland and Canada. These presenters will share their most recent research activities focused on addressing global and local challenges, and seeking opportunities for developing future novel processes.
Thank you once again for your kind attention.
Zhen Fang
