We invite industrial developers, experts and researchers in the bioenergy fields, academics (from PhD students to well-established researchers), transportation and aviation fuels producers and brokers, end-users of bio-fuels, policymakers and business partners, EU/CINEA projects' members, representatives from European Commission, public authorities and the general public.

Objectives and activities of the expert workshop are set to:

• Present the ABC-Salt Research Consortium achievements and disseminate ABC-Salt research results to a wider audience

• Discuss state-of-the-art technologies: pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, catalytic upgrading (HDO, co-FCC)

• Identify technical “bottlenecks” and challenges in the production of bio-fuels, aviation fuels and middle-range distillates at different levels (from molecular to process level)

• Identify barriers in the non-technical domain (bio-fuels policies, social acceptance of bio-fuels)

• Foster networking, knowledge exchange and future collaboration between workshop participants

• Present the ABC-Salt laboratory integrated unit for bio-fuels production (laboratory tour)
