Welcome notes from the Chair

April 29, 2026

 

Dear Colleagues, Friends and Students:

 

The International Symposium on Bioresources and Biorefinery - 2026 (ISBB 2026, HONG KONG, November 27-29, 2026) aims to offer an international forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange recent advances and foster collaborations in biorefinery and bioproducts, i.e., conversion of  bioresources into high-value bioproducts, e.g., green hydrogen/methane, liquid biofuels (green gasoline/diesel for vehicles, marine biofuels, sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs)), green chemicals, biobased polymer/composite materials and bio-carbon materials.

 

The ISBB 2026 Conference expects to bring together more than 200 academic and industrial researchers from HK, mainland and multiple countries around the world. The Conference will encompass multi-sessions and themes: (1) Plenary Session (PS) on the recent advances in biorefinery and bioproducts, (2) Bio-Catalytic Conversions (BCC), (3) Thermal and Catalytic Conversions (TCC), (4) Electro/Photo-Catalytic Conversions (EPCC) and (5) Bio-Polymer Materials (BPM), and (6) Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). 

 

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I’m looking forward to receiving your abstracts for our ISBB 2026 Conference and welcoming you to Hong Kong - A Foodies' Paradise and the only city homing five universities in the world's top 100, this November (Nov. 27-29, 2026).

 

Thank you for your interest and support!

 

Best wishes,
