NJAU – International Virtual Conference on Sustainable Processing of Biomass and Biogenic Matter
Sustainable processing of biomass is one of the driving forces in the 21st century for generating carbon-neutral biofuels and multi-functional bioproducts. The International Virtual Conference dedicated to this field provides crucial platforms for exchanging ideas and disseminating knowledge regarding innovative technologies. These technologies focus on converting various biomass resources into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials, while simultaneously fostering positive socio-economic impacts. The Conference served as a forum to present, discuss, and debate global and local challenges, opportunities, and future novel processes in this rapidly evolving sector.
