10:30  Phoenix Biopower (se)
10:50  Club Pyrogazéification (fr)

With a view to bringing to the fore some of the game changing European gasification technologies on the cusp of becoming mainstream names, this session will provide a panoramic view of state-of-the-art gasification technologies illustrated by shining examples of pioneering, market-driven innovations. Underlying their achievements is the promise to bridge the gap between vision and engineering excellence to deliver unparalleled efficiency in power performance (50-60%), the circular valorisation of novel feedstocks as well as the promise to produce a lot of clean, injectable green gas. Green gas is in full flow …

The professionalisation of the anaerobic digestion sector necessarily involves training and expertise in order to allow companies to find competent and knowledgeable employees, and to include professionals in a dynamic of improvement and competitiveness. The speakers during this round table will scan the needs of the sector in terms of initial and continuous training, the professions on offer, the target audiences for the training offered, as well as the expertise to be implemented to make companies more competitive.

15:20 - 15:30 : Q&A - exchanges with the audience

Hydrothermal Gasification is a virtuous technology for almost completely treating and recovering wet organic waste using the water vector as the reaction medium.
It makes it possible to produce synthetic methane that can be injected into the network and to recover water and metals as well as nitrogen and mineral salts (phosphorus, potassium, etc.) that can be transformed into fertilizer products.
This conference will present the state of the art of its development in Europe and the prospects for its forthcoming industrialization in France.

The renewable gas sectors have not finished surprising you...!

15:45  Round Table

Whether a relative start up or an established industrial player, some of the front runners driving the biotransition will lay out their visions for industrializing biobased to achieve the global impact that is needed. All with innovative and specific platform technologies that take as their feedstocks, undervalued biomass co-products from wood processing or agriculture as well as captured biogenic C02 and bio-syngas, and transform them to arrive at fundamental biobased building-block chemicals, a point from where it is then possible to fan out over multiple applications and across a multiple range of industries. And this, oftentimes with improved or new performance characteristics that exceed current levels, generating higher value-add and even greater opportunity.
