SMIBIO workshop – Small-scale Integrated Biorefineries
One of the key points for the
expansion of the bioeconomy is the proliferation of the biorefineries in the
rural areas. I am not talking only about the large plants producing huge
quantities of biofuels and chemical products. The small and flexible facilities
highly integrated with the surrounding environment will play a very important
role. In this post, I introduce a small overview with information about a
workshop focused on this second kind of biorefineries.
Name: International Workshop Small-Scale
Integrated Biorefineries.
Date:
23 de noviembre de 2016 (8:30-18:30).
Venue:
Centro Cultural de la Ciencia (C3) Mincyt (Godoy Cruz, 2270, Ciudad Autónoma de
Buenos Aires, Argentina).
Contact:
Jorge Antonio Hilbert (hilbert.jorge@inta.gob.ar).
The aim of this workshop is to
present case studies and concepts of small-scale biorefinery units to be
further localized in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Portugal, Spain and
Germany. The workshop also aims to discuss with stakeholders, opportunities and
challenges of small-scale biorefineries for rural development in Latin America
and Europe.
This workshop is organized in the framework of the
project ERANET-LAC SMIBIO in cooperation with the Instituto
Nacional de Tecnologia Agropecuaria (INTA) and the Ministry of Science,
Technology and Productive Innovation of Argentina. The objective of the SMIBIO
project is to develop small-scale integrated biorefinery units capable of
processing different kinds of biomass produced in rural and small urban areas,
both in Europe and in CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States).
