Development Café and the 5th monthly scientific seminar on bioenergy: Developing countries.

Fuel for Life and Development Café are happy to invite you to the fifth bioenergy scientific seminar in Fuel for Life.

Conclusions on biomass produced in developing countries have been drawn, but have the analyses even been made? The seminar aims at demystifying biomass production and the use of bioenergy in developing countries using cases from Africa.

Place: Facuty of Life Sciences, Aud. 3-12, Thorvaldsensvej 40, Frederiksberg

Sign-up now:

Program:

Bruce Talbot: Heat and energy from invasive species in South Africa, co-firing with biomass
Bjarke Ferchland: Taking a low-energy cooker from the lab to the field: A student's perspective
Lars Graudal: Biofuels and development: a background in the World Development Report and a case on Jatropha curcas in Mali
Alexander Percy-Smith: Biofuel - an opportunity or threat to the resource poor smallholder + ERA-ARD

All with an interest in bioenergy are welcome. Please bring along collegues and students.

The seminars are a forum in which to present an inter-disciplinary audience with an overview of bioenergy topics as well as debate new ideas. Presentations will be relatively short to give room for discussions.

This month, the seminar is held in collaboration with Development Café, a monthly event for students in development studies. See this semester's preliminary program.

Seminaret er det femte i rækken af månedlige fagseminarer om bioenergi på Det Biovidenskabelige Fakultet. Seminarerne vil være åbne for alle med interesse for bioenergi og og vil være et sted at give et tværfagligt publikum et overblik over bioenergi-faglige emner, men også præsentere nye ideer og skabe debat. Oplæggene er forholdsvist korte for at give plads til diskussion. Som udgangspunkt er oplæggene på engelsk, medmindre alle i publikum er dansk-talende.
