BBNet and EBNet are delighted to announce that registration is now open for a workshop exploring how thermal, thermochemical, and biological conversion technologies may be integrated to improve environmental and economic outcomes of waste and biomass valorisation processes.
This two day in-person workshop will be led by the EBNet biochars for pollution prevention working group co-ordinated by Dr Meredith Barr and will bring together colleagues working across the environmental biotechnology and biomass biorefining sectors.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- biological pretreatment of thermal/thermochemical feedstocks
- biochar for microbiome engineering
- thermal/thermochemical technologies in anaerobic digestion and fermentation
Each session will be led by experts in the field including Prof Jhuma Sadhukhan, Dr Mark Gronnow, and Dr Andrew Ross, and will feature several speakers who will share their research, including the motivation, methods and challenges associated with each pathway.
There are limited places available, open to existing BBNet and EBNet members whose research fits with the purpose of the workshop.
Expressions of interest are being taken until 05 January 2025, after which point places will be confirmed.
