Founded in 1971, Earthwatch is an international environmental charity which engages people worldwide in scientific field research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment. We work with a wide range of partners, from individuals who work as conservation volunteers on research teams through to corporate partners, governments and institutions.

As the world’s population increases and climate change forces land use patterns to change, pressures upon farmers to produce more food on limited agricultural land grows by the day. Some believe we will have to grow more food over the next 50 years than we have over the last 10,000. Yet productive and sustainable agriculture depends on healthy ecosystems - fertile soil, plentiful water and flourishing natural pollinators and pest controllers. Can we reconcile the conflict between urgently intensifying agriculture and conserving precious ecosystems?

Join environmental charity, Earthwatch, as their scientists, Professor Ken Norris and Dr Mark Chandler, tease apart the complex issues at the heart of this debate, relating it to their research on the sustainability of cocoa farming in Ghana and coffee production in Costa Rica.

Duration

23 and 24 March 2010

Venue

Kramer Building,
Middle Campus,
University of Cape Town,
Cape Town,
South Africa

There has been extensive debate among researchers in developed countries whether an emissions trading scheme or carbon tax is the best means to ‘put a price on carbon’. Other economic instruments could contribute to mitigation of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions indirectly, including tradable certificates for renewable energy or energy efficiency. This conference takes up the debate on how such instruments might apply in South Africa and other developing countries, putting carbon pricing in the context of broader policy on climate and development. This has not been done in depth previously.

The objectives of this conference are to:

Build on discussions undertaken at a side-event and a workshop at the Climate Change Summit 2009
Contribute to the development of climate policy in South Africa, by further exploring practical options for putting a price on carbon,
Deepen the understanding of economic instruments, through a conference with peer-reviewed papers,
Broaden the community of experts working in this emerging field, by having attracted papers from researchers and analysts in cognate disciplines that are not currently working on carbon pricing
including economics and environmental economics, but also
researchers working on institutional and political dimensions
Draw on experiences and lessons from other countries, in particular
other developing countries in their exploration of the same issues in similar contexts, and
experiences of implementation in developed countries examining the applicability in the context of development.

Applications

There is no charge to apply or to attend this conference. However, you will have to pay your own costs to attend.

1 February 2010 - ETA-Florence Renewable Energies and WIP Renewable Energies (WIP), organizers of the 18th European Biomass Conference (3-7 May 2010) and Exhibition (3-6 May 2010), taking place in Lyon, France, report that more than 830 scientific and industry papers have been submitted.

The global interest in the European Biomass Conference is evident in the soaring number of 65 countries where the submitted papers originated: All European countries, North and South America, Asia and Africa, as well as Australia have contributed. Most submissions originated from this year’s host country France. A high number of contributions was received from other European countries, such as Germany, Italy, Austria, and the United Kingdom.

This international exchange on a high professional level proves the European Biomass Conference status as the “world's international biomass event for a specialist audience”.

The submission of the high number of contributions from all over the world reconfirms that the biomass topic is an essential and vital part of the political, scientific and industrial efforts concerning the further development of renewable energies. International experts, from all areas of the biomass sector, will meet at the 18th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition in Lyon and share their ideas and findings with a specialist audience.

The greater share of submitted abstracts (39%) was received for the topic of Biomass Conversion. Biomass Resources made up for 20% of abstracts and 16% were submitted for Biofuels. The topics Biomass Markets and Biomass Policies accounted for a total of 25% of the abstracts.

The Conference will focus on the future development of biomass and its potentials, such as the European SET Plan, with the June deadline for the National Renewable Energy Action Plans. Prof. Josef Spitzer, Conference General Chairman, states: “It is impressing to see how the global biomass R&D community responded to the Call for Papers. This number is showing that we are able to continue the trend of growth. I also find it encouraging that bioenergy stays high on the agenda, in spite of the very difficult times world economy is going through. Biomass is a key to our sustainable energy future and this Conference and Exhibition is at the heart of the global developments in this area; in science, technology, industry and applications. It is my great pleasure to chair this leading platform for the whole biomass value chain. The Conference subjects cover the entire range of bioenergy and bio-materials issues: resource availability, conversion technologies, demonstration projects, integration in the energy system, environmental impact and market deployment as well as the need for policy actions. Presenters and participants will be able to learn about the latest developments in these subjects and to exchange personal views. Together with the opportunity to see practical applications of bioenergy systems in the exhibition, this will make it worthwhile to come to Lyon.”

Over the next few weeks, the international Scientific Committee, comprised of more than 100 experts in their respective fields, will evaluate all abstracts submitted. In mid-February, the Committee will make its final selections, on which the programme of the 18th European Biomass Conference will be based.

Almost half of the planet’s original forests have been severely damaged by illegal logging and uncontrolled conversion to farmland, compromising their capacity to support wildlife, maintain soil structure and fertility, protect watersheds, and provide essential raw materials for local communities. However, if well managed, forests are extremely resilient, demonstrating an extraordinary capacity to regenerate. In the face of decades of human exploitation – and now climate change – how can we restore forests before they become biological deserts?

Join Earthwatch scientists, Drs Mark Huxham and Glen Reynolds, as they take you on a journey to mangrove forests in Kenya and the rainforests of Borneo. They will share with you the results to date of their pioneering research into the restoration of two very different, yet similarly challenged, forest ecosystems.

At the moment an important role is to create forest energy markets and mobilization. We like to learn more about examples how to create markets and to overcome barriers on national and international markets. Some countries, as e.g. Russia, and areas, as e.g. North America and South America, have huge forest resources and will play an important role in international business. Other important thing is forest energy resources in national strategies. Modern technologies for forest fuel production, handling transport and logistics will be presented and shown during technical tour to FinnMetko exhibition. Combustion, boiler technologies and Combined Heat and Power Production (CHP) -power plants for forest fuels are of importance in practical use. The conference will also focus on conversion technologies, especially production of transport fuels and pyrolysis. Wood pellets are important in changing heating systems from fossil fuels to renewables. Wood pellets can also be used in coal power plants.
