 Content

It is by now almost universally accepted that energy technology innovation is central to meeting climate change challenges while also supporting economic and energy security objectives. However, in the publication Energy Technology Perspectives 2015, the IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven concludes that “the current pace of action is falling short of the aim of limiting climate change to a global temperature rise of 20C”. Hence, research, development and the demonstration of new sustainable energy technologies and systems are of paramount importance and urgency.

Content

Danish Biotech and Food processing Industries have a leading position in the world. Global challenges with relation to climate change and to feeding a rapidly growing global population call for developing even more bio-based solutions to important problems:
- To enable us within shortest possible time span to substitute use of fossil resources (by producing biobased chemicals, materials and fuel);
- To utilize the agricultural, forestry and fishery primary production significantly better than we do today;
- Smarter technologies for diminishing waste;
- And biobased upgrade of crop residues and organic sides-streams, for producing more food, feed and fertilizer. 

Delivering for a sustainable future more than just food and feed is needed: we must be striving for producing health-promoting feed and food ingredients; and simultaneously do it by diminishing the environmental pressure and to support more circular biobased solutions. 

Denmark can contribute significantly to such endeavors, making the world smarter, more sustainable and more socially inclusive; and by doing exactly this, at the same time building business, competencies, and jobs in Denmark -and globally. 

The has contributions by leading key players from industry and academia.

Committee
R: Biorefining
 - This year held jointly with Session B in the morning.
 Location  See session B: Bioprocesses 
 Content 

Integrated production of food and feed ingredients, chemicals, materials and energy carriers from residual biomass within the so-called biorefinery (biomass-based refinery) is an essential part of a sustainable future. Identification and development of optimal combinations of substrates, conversion processes and utilization of the final products is a very complex process. This session invites speakers to present new, innovative and promising technologies for sustainable production of valuable commodities in a biorefinery context. Conversion routes include, but are not limited to, biological processes.

- Keywords: Biorefinery Value chains Technologies: Raw materials chemistry and Physics: lignocellulose, algal biomass, waste, agro-industrial streams. Enzymology: Enzyme discovery techniques, enzyme protein engineering, enzyme bioprocess optimization, enzymatic polishing/pretreatment, cascade reactions. Reaction and process design and engineering: reactor/bioreactor design, process/bioprocess design, solvent engineering, integrated separation/reactive catalytic/biocatalytic separation technologies.

Content 

How can we ensure safe and stable water resources for the future? Access to water and sanitation is one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, sustainable water resources are prerequisites for several of the other goals related to food, health, ecosystems and poverty.

This sessions invited speakers address how private companies can contribute to achieving the UN Sustainability Goals and at the same time strengthen their business cases, e.g. by working with water footprints and Corporate Social Responsibility and gives an example of new, innovative drinking and waste water treatment technology supporting environment and climate sustainability.

This session invites contributions that cover technological aspects of achieving this goal, such as drinking and waste water treatment technology, quality measurements, and recovery methods; it also involves sensing technology to gather information on water in cases spanning from industrial production processes to environmental or climate related measurements, i.e. from managing and optimizing efficiency in consumption and recycling to assessing resources' quality as well as depletion and replenishment on a larger scale.
