The fossil energy resources are limited. Renewable energy seems
to be an alternative. Various field and tree crops are suitable to
be cultivated as a source for production of bio energy. Many
conferences deal with technical aspects of bio gas, bio ethanol or
bio diesel production and the set up of block heat and power plants
to produce electricity as well as heat. The necessity to grow crops
with specific quality parameters for feeding these plants is often
overlooked.
The
International Potash Institute in cooperation with
Corvinus University of Budapest intends to arrange an
international symposium on nutrient management and nutrient demand
of energy plants.
The main topics of the symposium will be addressed in four
sessions:
- New and traditional crops for bio energy
- Quality requirement of crops for bio energy
- Optimal crop rotation and nutrient balance for bio energy
plants
- Energy and CO2 balance of crops grown for bio
energy
Each session will be opened by a keynote speaker, followed by
thematically corresponding lectures of 20 minutes. Besides the regular paper presentations we plan to have
a poster session on the themes of the symposium. Only papers and
posters in English are accepted.
Abstract submission
If you wish to present a paper or a poster you have to submit
your abstract (200-300 words) electronically before January 31,
2009. The Executive Committee Members will review the abstracts
and a decision regarding the acceptance of the paper or poster will
be made by February 28, 2009. It is accepted by the authors
that the abstracts will be published on the website
www.ipibudapest2009.com after acceptance of the paper. The
full presentation will be distributed at registration as PDF-file on
CD-ROM.

Poster session
Each accepted poster presentation will be displayed on a 120 cm

cm height x 84 cm width (format A0). Poster authors should be
available for comments and questions during breaks, after morning
and afternoon sessions and during allocated time. It will be
possible to publish the poster in the symposium proceedings.
