This conference engages bioenergy sustainability researchers with the goal to promote collaboration and disseminate the latest innovative concepts, research methods and results in the various domains of bioenergy sustainability.
The Bioenergy Sustainability Conference is an opportunity to showcase innovative capabilities, learn from fellow industry peers and further develop our network within the bioenergy community. This year we will further focus on system-wide approaches to achieve decarbonization. I look forward to this year’s conference as it is a time to engage with and learn from our nation's experts at the forefront of bioenergy excellence
I am excited to engage with other professionals and researchers with a commitment to mitigating climate change through sustainable bioenergy production. These efforts are not achievable in isolation and we need diverse talent with different backgrounds and from various sectors to solve the grand challenges to meet our food and energy needs.
