advanced biofuels symposium Biofuels in a climate of change Sustaining the future There’s no denying our predicament: humanity has no choice but to adapt to cli-mate change and mitigate negative impacts. As our use of fossil fuels is one of the major contributors to climate change, rethinking the energy sector will be a crucial undertak-ing for generations to come. Whether solid, liquid or gas, sustainable advanced biofuels sourced from non-food biomass are one important part of the solu-tion. More research and development efforts are necessary to bring these promising tech-nologies to the commercial energy sector. At the Advanced Biofuels Symposium, we will discuss progress towards the develop-ment of a thriving advanced biofuels indus-try and a more sustainable future. About the meeting From July 6-8, 2016, BioFuelNet Canada hosts its annual Advanced Biofuels Sympo-sium in downtown Vancouver, at the Sher-aton Wall Centre. This Symposium brings together multi-disciplinary experts in the en-ergy field, including top researchers, industry leaders and innovators from many sectors, to discuss key issues related to advanced biofuels and bioproducts. This annual event also enhances coordination of research efforts in Canada, and fosters new ideas for research, collaboration and business devel-opment, in order to pave a sustainable path toward the commercialization of advanced biofuels.
