Jointly organized by
Technical University of Vienna
and
JOANNEUM RESEARCH
Scope
The IEA Bioenergy Conference 2012 provided to stakeholders in R & D, industry and policy an insight into the recent research and market developments in bioenergy. The conference included all topics dealt with by IEA Bioenergy as well as by partner organizations like FAO, GBEP and UNDP. Presentations address all stages in bioenergy systems: from growth of biomass, to conversion to energy carriers and, to use for energy services. Cross cutting topics like sustainability (GHG emissions), socio-economy and trade were als discussed. Policy makers benefit from the latest conclusions on policy recommendations based on a global scientific energy technology network. Participants have been presented the latest information on promising bioenergy technologies in the stimulating and enjoyable surroundings of the Schönbrunn Palace Conference Center in Vienna.
IEA Bioenergy Task38 organized session VIII with presentations on current topics of the Task.
