Whilst Chemeca is focused on chemical engineering many of the industry sessions will address a broad range of climate change topics that affect us all including the transition to a low carbon economy, the circular economy, advancements in bioenergy and biofuels, green manufacturing, hydrogen, advanced and disruptive technologies, and the engineering jobs of tomorrow. 

In particular there is one session dedicated to Biofuels which may be of interest: Plenary Session 5 Bioenergy
 
Exploring the latest advancements in bioenergy. Bringing together two leading international biofuels companies, Gevo and LanzaTech, this session will spotlight the latest developments and the processes involved in converting their differing feedstocks to biofuels and the challenges for chemical engineers in making this 
commercially viable. 
•    Dr Jennifer Holmgren, CEO, LanzaTech (US) Bending the Carbon Curve while Creating a new Circular Carbon Economy
•    Dr Patrick Gruber, CEO, Gevo (US)
