More details about the event and registration via Hopin
This event will be held primarily in French, but international speakers will present in English.
Since 2018, the Pôle des technologies propres de la Gaspésie (Cleantech Cluster) has been working to implement solutions aimed at reducing GHG emissions from the McInnis cement plant (Port-Daniel, Quebec) by implementing an industrial CO2 symbiosis and developing the potential for upgrading forest biomass.
In addition to the work on the capture and transformation of CO2, the Pôle also focuses on the valorization of forest biomass as an alternative fuel in different economic sectors (fisheries, agrifood, forestry, etc.) in order to “green” their activities and consolidate the regional forest industry.
An alternative fuel is a fuel that replaces energy generated from fossil sources (eg diesel, coal, petroleum coke).
In this aspect of valuing forest biomass, this international conference aims to highlight best practices in applied research and to present innovative projects for the use of forest resources.
Objectives of the conference
- Bring together the leading Quebec practitioners of the forest biomass valorization industry
- Discover many potential uses of forest biomass as a decarbonization and GHG reduction agent
- Highlight companies in Quebec and internationally that work on forest biomass development projects
- Share the current knowledge of various experts in the field
Presentations from various businesses and organizations from Quebec, New Brunswick and Europe involved in valuing forest biomass in various forms.
