The University of Macau (UM) and Nanjing Forestry University jointly held the Third Jiangsu-Hong Kong-Macau Conference on Biomass Energy and Materials. The conference brought together experts and scholars from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao to present their latest research findings and contribute their wisdom to the innovation and development of sustainable energy and biomass materials.
Zhou Wanhuan, associate dean of UM’s Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), said that biomass is a safe, environmentally friendly, and renewable energy source, and is the only renewable and harmless carbon resource. The utilisation of biomass energy and materials is an important pathway to achieving the ‘dual carbon’ goal. As a result, biomass has attracted considerable attention from governments and environmental scientists around the world, and has become a popular research area in the field of energy. She added that as one of the organisers of the conference, UM hopes to take the lead in strengthening cooperation, technological exchange, and talent cultivation among scientists in the field, while promoting the application of biomass energy and materials in China, with a view to playing a role in future energy supply to address global climate change.
The conference focused on the development, processing, and application of biomass energy, biomass policies and their implementation, sustainable energy and circular economy, as well as how to improve the utilisation of biomass energy in China to ensure national energy supply. Experts and scholars shared their latest achievements and cutting-edge technologies in their respective research fields. In addition to speeches and presentations by experts, the conference also included discussion sessions and visits to UM’s laboratories to promote innovation and the development of related technologies.
Those attending the conference also included Huang Shengbiao, deputy head of the Economic Affairs Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR; Chu Iek Man, senior manager of the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund; Miao Zimei, vice president of Nanjing Forestry University; Wang Chunming, director of UM’s Research Services and Knowledge Transfer Office; and Hao Tianwei, assistant professor in FST.
澳門大學及南京林業大學合辦“第三屆蘇港澳生物質能源與材料論壇”,匯聚內地、香港、澳門多名專家學者發表最新研究,為可持續能源和生物質材料的創新及發展貢獻智慧。
澳大科技學院副院長周萬歡表示,生物質是安全、環保、可再生的能源,同時也是唯一可再生及無害的碳資源。生物質能源與物質利用是實現雙碳目標的重要途徑,目前已受到各地政府和環境科學家的重視,並成為能源研究的熱門研究領域。澳大作為是次論壇的主辦單位之一,期望能牽頭加強各地科學家在該領域的合作、技術交流及人才培養,同時提升中國的生物質能源與材料的應用,期望能在未來的能源供應中發揮作用,以應對全球氣候變化。
論壇重點關注生物質能源的發展、處理與應用,生物質政策與實施,可持續能源與循環經濟,並關注怎樣加強中國生物質能源利用,以保障國家能源供應。與會的專家學者分享了各自研究領域的最新成果和前沿技術。除了多名專家演講及分享外,論壇更設有討論會及參觀澳大實驗室,藉此啟發更多相關技術的創新和發展。
中央人民政府駐澳門特別行政區聯絡辦公室經濟部副部長黃聖彪、澳門科學技術發展基金高級經理朱奕敏、南京林業大學副校長缪子梅、澳大研究服務及知識轉移辦公室主任王春明、澳大科技學院助理教授郝天偉等嘉賓出席論壇。
