Venice 2026: call for abstracts

 ,

Abstract deadline: 8 June 2026

The 11th International Symposium on Energy from Biomass and Waste will take place in Venice from 23-25 November 2026. Abstract submissions are invited on the following themes:

  • FEEDSTOCKS – Amounts, quality, properties, monitoring, source segregation, sorting and collecting systems, energy potential evaluation etc.
  • CONVERSION PROCESSES – Features, operation, technologies, efficiencies, emissions control, residues management, siting of plants, decentralisation, appropriate solutions for developing countries, etc.
  • ENERGY OUTPUTS – Quality, purification, handling, storage, transport features and energy valorisation
  • POLICIES, STRATEGIES, REGULATIONS – Regional, National and international approaches, EU Strategies and directives, role of research etc.
  • GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE – Role of alternative energy from waste and biomass
  • ECONOMIC ASPECTS – Virtuous relationships between economy, scientific research and technologies, case studies etc.
  • DECISION TOOLS – Sustainability achievement, cost-benefit assessment, alternative scenarios, evaluation grid, etc.
  • COMMUNICATION: WASTE TO ENERGY AND SOCIETY  – Role of communication, How to communicate, Public involvement, etc.
  • OTHER RELEVANT ISSUES – Problems definition, Critical aspects, Solutions, Case studies, etc.

Topics of particular interest to EBNet members and Working Groups within the above themes include:

  • Municipal Solid Waste (Putrescible organic fractions, Paper and card, Plastics, Food waste, Unsorted waste, Gardening waste etc.)
  • Organic industrial and hazardous waste
  • Sludges (Sewage sludge, Kraft mill pulp sludge etc)
  • Waste biomass (Agriculture and horticultural residues, manure, wastes from beverage and food industries etc)
  • Anaerobic digestion (hydrolysis, acidogenic fermentation, biohydrogen production, acetogenesis, methanogenesis)
  • Biorefinery unit operations (Distillation, transesterification, fermentation, hydrogenation etc)
  • Microbial fuel cells
  • Integrated conversion processes
  • Liquid fuels: ethanol, biodiesel, methanol, vegetable oil, pyrolysis oil, tars etc.
  • Gaseous fuels: biogas (CH4 and CO2)
  • End of waste issues for alternative energy generation and use
