The BIORESTEC organizing committee are delighted to announce that the fourth meeting will be held in-person in Lake Garda, Italy, 14–17 May 2023.

BIORESTEC will consider exploration and exploitation of bioresource technologies for developing biomass-based processes and products and cover following topics specifically.

• Biological waste treatment and resource recovery
  • Industrial wastewater
  • Solid waste
• Biofuels & biorefineries
  • Biodiesel, Bioethanol, Biobutanol, Biohydrogen, Biogas
  • Lignocellulosic and Algal biorefinery
  • Microbial fuel cells
• Microbial bioprocesses and products
  • Antibiotics, Biopolymers, Enzymes, Organic acids, Others.
• Thermochemical processes for lignocellulose and algal biomass
  • Combustion, Gasification, Hydrothermal treatment, Pyrolysis, Steam explosion
• New and emerging biomass-based* processes and technologies
  • Biochar: Preparation, characterization and application for dyes and organic pollutants removal, anaerobic digestion, and composting.
  • Circular bioeconomy and energy & environmental sustainability
  • Nanomaterials for bioprocesses applications
  • Metabolic and genetic engineering for process enhancement
