IEA Bioenergy Task 42 workshop – New industrial models in the bioeconomic era: the biorefineries

The workshop aims to collect snapshots on the main R&D and policy initiatives in the bioenergy and biorefineries area in Italy and to share it in the global framework of IEA Bioenergy Task 42.

The current economy is still based mainly on the utilization of fossil sources with high CO2 emissions. The bioeconomy aims at developing new productive models making use of renewable sources. Biorefineries are an important tool to implement this transition from the fossil-based economy toward the bioeconomy. ENEA is pleased to announce the Italian stakeholders workshop in the area of biorefineries, which will take place in Rome, Italy, on 21st November 2019. This will be a one day conference inserted in the three work days (19-21 November) of the IEA bioenergy Task 42 hosted by ENEA. The workshop aims to collect snapshots on the main R&D and policy initiatives in the bioenergy and biorefineries area in Italy and to share it in the global framework of IEA Bioenergy Task 42. ENEA, Italian representative in IEA Bioenergy Task 42 on biorefineries in the circular economy, is proud to host this event in full coherence with its institutional role in the area of bioenergy, biorefineries and bioeconomy. The workshop has been locally organized by ENEA and supported by Novamont, European leader in the production of biobased and biodegradable plastics.
