In his introductory message, Eldrup addressed the global environmental issues to which biomass can provide solutions in a sustainable way. These questions and the respective answers will heat-up the debate along the full week of the conference, which will constitute as usual a prime event and a unique networking opportunity for the global biomass community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here below Eldrup&#8217;s full message.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dear colleagues<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> It is a great honour for me to welcome you to the 21st European Biomass Conference and Exhibition in Copenhagen 2013. Ahead of us we have many important challenges: <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>How do we secure a sufficient supply of energy for the future? No doubt bio is an important part of the answer <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>With more and more renewable energy in our power system, volatility and balancing becomes increasingly challenging. Bio will be an important part of the solution to this <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>How can we handle and treat our waste &#8211; and in particular the biowaste &#8211; so that more is recycled? Biowaste is bound to become more important in an increasingly resource constrained world<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em> How can we develop technologies where we can use biomaterials in new areas, not least those that today are based on oil? <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The discovery of new fossil energy supplies such as oil sands and shale gas puts pressure on CO2 reduction and on the competitiveness of renewable energy production.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>How can we convince the political community that biomass can be used in a sustainable way?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em> I am confident, that the 21st European Biomass Conference and Exhibition where academia, business and public sector meet will do its part to deliver good answers to these challenges. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am also convinced that the conference by bringing the latest science to a wider audience will help to keep up the momentum in reducing CO2 emissions, both in terms of the technological development and the political goals.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The City of Copenhagen has set the goal to be CO2-neutral in 2025 &#8211; as the first capital in the world. Therefore Copenhagen is sort of a testbed, which hopefully can give inspiration to many of you. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Also outside of Copenhagen new biomass-based solutions are on show, which I hope you will have the opportunity to visit. I look forward to see you in Copenhagen in June.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Anders Eldrup<br \/>\n<\/strong>Chairman of the Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anders Eldrup,\u00a0 Chairman of the Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster, will be the chairman of the 21st European Biomass Conference and Exhibition, which will be held in Copenhagen 3-7 June 2013.
