Dear Colleagues,
The Greek Catalysis Society cordially invites you to attend CAT4BIO, an international conference on “Advances in catalysis for biomass valorization”, to be held in Thessaloniki Greece on 8-11 July 2012. The event is a post-satellite conference of the 15th International Congress on Catalysis 2012 (1-6/7/2012, Munich).
The conference will be centered on recent advances in catalysis for biomass valorization to fuels and chemicals. The transformation of biomass into fuel and chemicals is becoming increasingly popular as a way to mitigate global warming and diversify energy sources. Catalysis will serve as key technological driver to achieve efficient and practical biomass conversion routes to useful products.
The conference aims to serve as a platform for the presentation of most recent progress in fundamental and applied catalysis research for the conversion of biomass and provide ground for fruitful discussions among catalysis experts from industry and academia. Invited lectures from internationally renowned experts in the field, as well as high quality oral and poster presentations from research groups worldwide will be organized around the following main topics:
- Conversion of cellulose/hemicellulose into platform molecules
- Conversion of oils extracted from seeds and algae
- Conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals via thermo-chemical processes
- Catalytic routes for lignin valorization
- Upgrading of biomass-derived products to high added value fuels and chemicals
Last, but not least, Greece constitutes an alluring and attractive destination for any event. Thessaloniki, the capital of Macedonia situated in Northern Greece, is a cosmopolitan city offering a contrast between the ancient and the modern. The surrounding area boasts beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear, turquoise water and landscapes of wooded mountains, beautiful coasts and fishing villages. Thessaloniki is well connected to Munich, home of the 15th ICC conference, with several daily direct flights. Additionally, flight connections to most European cities are available.
We all look forward to welcoming you to CAT4BIO international conference in 2012 in Thessaloniki.
On behalf of the CAT4BIO Organizing Committee,
Angeliki Lemonidou and Xenophon Verykios
CAT4BIO Conference Co-Chairs
