4. Backgrounds:
To support Taiwan’s “2050 Net-Zero Transition” and “5+2 Industrial Innovation Plans,” the International Symposium on Agricultural Net-Zero Carbon Technology and Management Innovation (hereafter referred to as the Symposium) aims to facilitate the exchange of the latest information on policies, action plans, and demonstration projects related to agricultural net-zero transformation. The objectives of the Symposium are (1) exchange innovative policy tools, research frameworks, methodologies, and technologies, (2) identify future directions for international collaboration in agricultural systems, and (3) promote the dissemination and exchange of state-of-the-art research among researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners.
5. Themes:
As climate change and resource pressures continue to intensify, achieving resource circularity while reducing environmental burdens has become a critical priority for global sustainable development. In this year, we will focus on biomass resource policies and valorization technologies, particularly anaerobic digestion, as key strategies for advancing a circular bioeconomy. We will highlight the expanding role of anaerobic digestion in sustainable resource management by bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from engineering, environmental science, biotechnology, and policy. It aims to explore innovative approaches for resource recovery, renewable energy conversion, carbon reduction, and low-carbon development. By bridging theory and practice, the Symposium seeks to facilitate knowledge exchange, showcase emerging technologies and demonstration projects, and promote collaborative pathways toward high-efficiency, low-emission, and resilient circular bioresource systems.
The Themes of this Symposium include
(1) Policies and Strategies for Circular Bioeconomy.
(2) Advanced Anaerobic Digestion Systems for Enhancing Efficiency and Stability.
(3) Integration of Biogas Upgrading and Nutrient Recovery.
(4) Digital and Smart Technologies, and Data-Driven System Modeling.
(5) Bioenergy with Carbon Dioxide Removal.
