IEA Bioenergy Tas 38, in cooperation with JOANNEUM RESEARCH and Centre
wallon de Recherches agronomiques, is pleased to announce its 2010 Annual
Conference.
*Theme: “Greenhouse gas emissions from bioenergy systems: impacts of timing,
issues of responsibility
Dates: March 8 – 10, 2010
Location: Brussels, Belgium
*
The conference will tae place on March 8th and 9th. There will be an
optional field excursion to nearby bioenergy facilities on March 10th.
*
Objectives
*Who should tae responsibility for emissions due to land use change
associated with bioenergy? How does the timing of emissions from land use
change, emission reductions, and sequestration associated with bioenergy
systems influence the mitigation benefit of bioenergy? How can policy be
devised to recognize impacts of timing, and issues of responsibility?
The conference will present research on this subject and discuss policy
approaches to promote the appropriate use of biomass for energy.
At this time we are inviting relevant papers for the conference. Please send
abstracts and titles to Ms. Susanne Woess-Gallasch (*susanne.woess@joanneum.at
*) by January 15th
Sincerely
Neil Bird and Susanne Woess-Gallasch

*Background
IEA Bioenergy is an international, collaborative research programme on
bioenergy aiming at improved international cooperation and information
exchange ( http://www.ieabioenergy.com ). The primary goal of IEA Bioenergy Tas
38 (“Greenhouse Gas Balances of Biomass and Bioenergy Systems”) is to
investigate all processes involved in the use of bioenergy and carbon
sequestration systems, with the aim of assessing overall greenhouse gas
balances and supporting decision maers in selection of mitigation
strategies. Participating countries are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil,
Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the USA. The conference is
part of a series of worshops and conferences within Tas 38, taing place
on a regular basis. For more detailed information on the Tas, its output,
and on previous events see:
