2022 International Symposi Biomass Utilization in Agriculture and Forestry was hold by Nanjing Agricultural University on December 15-16th. 2022
1.1 Conference Background
Low-carbon technologies, renewable energies and development strategies in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are essential for our future. Biomass utilization in agriculture and forestry has become a research hotspot in chemical, environment, energy and materials science fields. To accelerate scientific and technological development of biomass and forestry resources, the International Symposium on Biomass Utilization in Agriculture and Forestry (BUAF2022, Virtual Conference) is being held on December 15-16, 2022 and hosted by Nanjing Agricultural University and Jiangsu Foreign Expert Lab. Scholars from Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, USA, Spain and China will share their most recent research activities on biomass energy, bio-based materials, bio-based chemicals, bio-active compounds and biopolymers, and global carbon balance. The purpose of the forum is to promote international academic exchange and education and to stimulate cooperative activities in sustainable development of renewable biomass resources.
