On Thursday, 4 November 2021, MDPI and the Journal Molecules organized the 21st webinar on Molecules. The webinar was chaired by Prof. Dr. Ivet Ferrer from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and gave an overview on “Efficient Technologies for the Pretreatment of Biomass”.
Two well-known researchers in the field shared their expertise on “Pretreatments for anaerobic digestion: state of the art” (Dr. Hélène Carrère, INRAE-LBE, France) and “Biomass fractionation for biorefineries” (Dr. Aline da Costa, UNICAMP, Brazil). Q&A sessions were conducted to answer any questions submitted by live online audience.
The webinar was offered via Zoom, and registration was required for attendance. The full recording can be found below. To stay updated on upcoming Molecules webinars organized by MDPI, be sure to sign up for our newsletter by clicking on “Subscribe” at the top of the page.
