Circular Bioeconomy Systems
Chaired by Shu-Yuan Pan, Ph.D., Associate Professor, College of Bioresource and Agriculture, National Taiwan University (sypan@ntu.edu.tw)

Climate change impacts megacities worldwide and across Asia. As a primary agricultural production region, Asia faces important issues regarding the reuse of agricultural resources and surplus resources. Establishing a circular bioeconomy system to reduce the use of fossil fuels and raw materials is especially crucial. Therefore, technologies related to biomass resources (such as fermentation, anaerobic digestion, etc.) are key to future development. This session focuses on the establishment of circular bioeconomy systems and the development issues of various biotechnologies.

Climate Change among the most challenging phenomena impact megacities across Asia and the world. To address it requires reconsidering how we consider energy, manufacturing, and transportation. To achieve net carbon zero will also require developing and implementing technologies to capture carbon and either use it to replace fossil sources or sequester it. Success will require collaboration around the world to develop efficient technologies as well as translation of the research to commercial deployment. We present a series of talks that will highlight the science challenges, how research centers of excellence are accelerating the work, and companies that are starting to deploy the technologies.
