Topics of the conference  

• Biodegradation and valorisation of volatile compounds and air pollutants, including organic and inorganic pollutants, odours, N and S compounds.
• Valorisation and bioconversion of waste gases and greenhouse gases (e.g., CH₄, CO₂, CO, NOx) into useful products
• Syngas fermentation and bioconversion into biofuels and bioproducts
• Biogas upgrading, biogas (bio)desulfurisation, synthesis gas purification
• Bioprocess engineering: bioreactor development, optimisation and scale-up, applied to waste gas emissions, syngas, greenhouse gases, renewable resources (e.g., conventional bioreactors and fermentors, fluidised bed bioreactors, membrane bioreactors, two-phase partitioning bioreactors, air-lift bioreactors, Taylor flow bioreactors, bioelectrochemical reactors)
• Microbiological aspects applied to renewable resources and waste gas treatment and valorisation: physiology and microbial metabolism, new species, microbial populations in bioreactors, application of novel microbiology approaches
• Metabolic engineering, strain improvement and selection of microorganisms (e.g., aerobic or anaerobic bacteria, yeasts, fungi, algae)
• Integration of non-biological processes: catalytic degradation of pollutants, catalytic conversion of pollutants, catalytic generation of biological products, at room temperature. Combined biological and non-biological processes
• Pilot and industrial scale studies
• Any other related topic
