Achema 2009 is to stage a Sustainable Concepts for the Use of Resources show at the event, which will be held at the Frankfurt am Main on 11-15 May 2009.
The show will spotlight the most recent contributions from the chemical engineering and biotechnology industries to the sustainable utilisation of renewable resources.
It will focus on a number of key sustainability trends, including technologies for the preservation and use of renewable resources such as raw materials or energy supplies.
Chemical engineering topics will include: industrial ('white') biotechnology; chemical energy storage; and chemical and thermal processes.
Solar-based technologies will also be addressed, including solar chemical processes, photobioreactors and photovoltaics.
In addition, biotechnology-based technologies will also be covered, including: plants for the production of biofuels and biogas, biorefineries; pulping and separation techniques for biogenous material; high-performance crops; processing and production of biopolymers and composites.
Achema 2009 is also running a scientific Congress that will feature more than 900 specialist lectures.
Additional conference sessions focused on the special show's key themes will supplement the exhibition and panel discussions with personalities from industry, government, administration and interest groups also being a feature of the sustainability event.
The Congress allows all the ACHEMA exhibitors the opportunity to detail the features and benefits of their technologies to a global audience.
