About Conference

Since the XVIIIth Industrial revolution and World economy development, fossil fuels have become the major Energy Resource on Earth. With the growing dependence on this form of energy, an alert on the consequences of their combustion for the production of electricity is, the increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and related effects on climate change (disorder evidences such as Greenhouse Gas effects, El Niño phenomenon, severe droughts across the world, large scale floods or unseasonable climate perturbations with extreme temperatures). Forseeing larger megalopolis growth and the intensification of transportation network, have been increasing the needs for New Energies to balance the traditional resources to supply new developments pace in a sustainable way for the next coming decades.

Last century, crude oil volatility has brought erratic crisis, and made awareness on our reliance on energy, and its limited storage, bringing each country to innovate in "New Energies" and review all possible ways through more advanced technologies . Among the Renewable Energies, Biomass conversion can recycle the carbon in a shorter term, and produce energy from waste, helping to diminish the pollution on Earth and meet sustainable target. But in the recent years some larger exploitation of cereals in the US to produce Biofuels (Ethanol, Biodiesel), has been competing stable foods tillable soils or water resource. Since scientists all over the world in France( EU) or US are focusing researches toward ecologically sustainable Bioenergies.

Recently, Taiwan government has been promoting the Economy of Energy, Carbon emission reduction, they also drew up new directives for the development of Green Energies Industries. Bioenergies count among one of these. This International Conference on Sustainable Biomass (ICSB) 2010 will gather researchers from France, Taiwan and South East Asian countries, including China(ASEAN) to exchange information on newest Bioenergies technologies and sustainable approach. The Conference is expecting from this exchange between scientists, industries and government representatives, making fruitful conclusions helping to reduce atmospheric carbon in future, becoming informative for establishment of "New Energies" policies and strategies and future bilateral cooperation.
