to a Society entirely independent of fossil fuels as programmed by 2050. Within this scope many Countries invest resources and set up ambitious strategies towards the achivement of the large share of the 20% renewable energy target by 2020. Site Oficial: http://www.aidic.it/iconbm/ Many experts predict that energy from biomass shall increase in the next years by 66%, meaning that biomass use ( at least for electricity production) will double compared to 2010. However a long list of utmost important and pending challenges is still evident and facing the Research Activity: How processes are effectively designed, how they properly fit into a grid of sustainable power supply that includes wind, geo, hydro and solar. How we should use our agricultural resources in a sustainable and ethical way avoiding a negative impact on another global challenge such as scarcity of food. Can we demonstrate that biomass is a secure an sufficient supply of energy for the future? Are we able to treat urban biowaste so that we may convince the community to a more effcient recycling? Is Biowaste bound to become more important than Biomass in a continuosly increasing developed society ? Is the conversion from biomass to bioenergy, biofuel or bio-product achieving a real reduction of greenhouse gas emissions ? On behalf of The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, we most warmly welcome the International Congress on Biomass, 4-7 May, 2014 Florence Italy. We are looking forward to open this world-class event and to share with you the presentations of the latest key innovations within sustainable bioenergy technologies and solutions.
