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).
