International Conference on Algal Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts (AlgalBBB 2024)

AlgalBBB places a major emphasis on the latest published and unpublished technical and scientific results, along with discussion and direct interactions with broad spectrum scientists and engineers, funding sponsors, and leaders in the field from all over the world. The conference presents the work of the algae research community through a balanced set of oral presentations and posters selected from the best submissions to the conference. Our list of keynote and invited speakers includes funding agency sponsors, key industry players, and top scientists and engineers from the international community

The conference will cover all areas of emerging technologies in all areas of algal research, including microalgae, macroalgae, and cyanobacteria: synthetic biology, molecular biotechnology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, extraction, biorefinery, feedstock conversion, production of fine and bulk chemicals, econometrics, and sustainability analyses.

In 2024, we look forward to hearing about the new emphasis on bioengineering advances for micro- and macroalgae, advanced molecular characterization technologies (e.g., genomics, proteomics, metabolomics), new strain engineering technologies for biofuels and high value products and pharmaceuticals, advances in biomaterials, photobioreactor design and control systems, and new technologies in characterization and analysis, among others.
