From 24-25 April, the Sino-German Agricultural Centre (DCZ) is organizing a two-day seminar and site visit series on the topic of “Biomass and Circular Economy – Technologies, Potentials, and Challenges”. The event will take place in Hefei and Bengbu, Anhui Province.
This event will bring together researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to exchange insights on the sustainable production, conversion, and utilization of biomass for biofuels, biomaterials, and energy. With the support of our co-organizer, Wanhao Energy 万豪能源—a specialist in converting bio-waste into liquefied biomethane (LBM) and other renewable products—participants will have the opportunity to explore real-world applications of low-carbon, circular economy practices in the Hefei and Bengbu regions.
