Brazilian Symposium on Biorefineries
-
Sílvio Vaz Jr.
The second Brazilian Symposium on Biorefineries was held in the city of Brazilia, Brazil, 24-26 September 2013, and welcomed 200 participants from industry, research institutions, universities and government, who presented their research on the important theme of chemical sciences and related areas, such as biology, agronomy, economy, and engineering. This series of meetings started in Brasília in September 2011 as the Brazilian Symposium on Biorefineries (SNBr), organized by Dr. Sílvio Vaz Jr. and others researchers at Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa).
The program topics of the second SNBr symposium ranged from biomass production and availability to conversion processes, analytical technologies, economic and regulatory framework, and sustainability.
The symposium had four plenary lectures, and sixteen invited lectures, confirming the vitality of this area of bioeconomy and renewable chemistry.
Now, the Organizing Committee is starting the discussion for the third Brazilian Symposium on Biorefineries in 2015.
