WOODCHEM2019, Nancy, France 20-22 November 2019

THE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE DEDICATED TO WOOD-BASED CHEMISTRY AND ITS APPLICATIONS


Energy and ecological transitions mean seeking out alternatives to fossil fuels and require the development of materials and products with a reduced environmental impact.
Plentiful and easily accessible in most countries, wood is a prime raw material for the development of more environmentally-friendly chemicals that are less dependent on fossil fuels.
For the forestry and wood industries, this wood chemistry is an opportunity to further optimize their resource or their coproducts through high added-value applications.
Today new opportunities are also open to chemical manufacturers who can thus offer greener solutions and real alternatives to petrol-based products.
Applications cover a broad spectrum, from housing materials, interiors and transport to personal protective equipment, cosmetology and pharmacology.

LIGNOBIOTECH SYMPOSIUM 2020 

Launching of LignoBiotech Symposium 2020 website (http://lignobiotech2020.com)
LignoBiotech symposium was held the first time in France (Reims, 2010), then in Japan (Fukuoka, 2012), Chile (Concepcion, 2014), Spain (Madrid, 2016), and in Finland (Helsinki, 2018). Over these years, the LignoBiotech Symposium has established itself as a preeminent forum on biotechnology applied to lignocelluloses, where industrial enzymes and synthetic biology converge with chemical engineering and material sciences to advance the development of new bio-based products. 

LignoBiotech 2020 will be held in Toronto, Canada, on 26-28 August 2020 
LignoBiotech 2020 will emphasize latest advances in biotechnologies that transform cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin into fuels, high-value chemicals, and new bio-based materials. Bioprocesses to extract value from mill effluents will also be described. Recent opportunities that have arisen through advances in data analysis, molecular engineering, and the integration bio-conversion pathways with thermochemical processes and material sciences, will be emphasized.

XX REUNIÓN DE LA RED LIGNOCEL

La XX Reunión de la Red financiada por la Acción de Dinamización "Redes “Biotecnología para la Lignocelulosa: hacia el uso integral de la biomasa vegetal como materia prima renovable” (BIO2017‐90757‐REDT), se ha celebrado con éxito los días 4-5 Junio de 2019, en la Cristalera (Miraflores de la Sierra, Madrid). En ella han participado más de 40 asistentes y 20 ponentes.  Las  ponencias se han dividido en tres sesiones científicas: SI. Caracterización y mejora de enzimas y microorganismos de interés industrial; SII. Nuevas tecnologías para el aprovechamiento de los materiales lignocelulósicos; y SIII. Biotratamientos para el aprovechamiento y valorización de materiales lignocelulósicos, cada una de las cuales ha dado lugar a un apasionado debate científico. ¡Gracias a los ponentes, moderadores y a todos los asistentes por vuestra participación!.
