Real World Solutions Through Green Technology
tcbiomass2021 focuses on the science of thermochemical conversion of biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW) to renewable gas (RNG), liquid fuels, and chemicals. This international event draws attendees from around the world, with past conferences including representatives from Brazil, China, Finland, Germany, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, and over 20 other countries.
This unique conference highlights the science of thermochemical conversion and real commercial opportunities for deployment of this technology. In 2021, the program has been expanded to include MSW as a feedstock, and to feature RNG as a product of thermochemical conversion in addition to liquid fuels and chemicals.
