Opening Ceremony
Prof Ange NZIHOU | Chair of the WasteEng 2016 Conference
Opening ceremony of the WasteEng2016 conference with a talk by Professor Ange Nzihou. The talk will describe advances and trends of the research on waste and biomass valorization. An overview about waste and biomass to carbon materials, biofuels, biogas, syngas and useful materials is expected. The global trends will be connected to the 10 years evolution of the research in the WasteEng conference.
