Off the back of Copenhagen, The European Convention of the Global Sustainable Bioenergy Project holds the first of its five conferences on 24-26 February in Delft, The Netherlands. This key summit will be led by international speakers from the bioenergy field and will look at the significance of biofuel and its place in tomorrow�s society. The focus of the convention is on participants from all over Europe to bring to attention local and regional opportunities, and for these issues to be taken into account to come up with a European Resolution to include scientific, technological, social, political and ethical issues.
The convention is expected to have a major impact on future decisions about biofuel use around the world.
The convention will include focuses on:
- Innovative approaches to efficient land use
- The underestimation of biofuels and overestimation of alternatives which still takes place at large scale
- Countries� realistic potential for available biomass potential
- Food vs. fuel
Is our future biofuels?
�I very much appreciate the forward-looking and integral approach of the GSB initiative: it asks the question how mankind can implement this new technology in a harmonious and time-efficient manner - taking into account that requirements and constraints may differ for different geographical regions and societies. It is an illusion to think that we can switch from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources without major changes in our infrastructure and land use.�
Jack Pronk, Faculty of Applied Sciences at Delft
The conference agenda includes a dedicated press meeting on 26 February
