4th International Conference on Sustainable Chemical and Environmental Engineering - From Lab to Pilot Scale Microalgae-based Photobioreactors: Statistical Optimization of 3rd Generation Biofuel Production Presentation

The 4th International Conference on Sustainable Chemical and Environmental Engineering (SUSTENG 2025) was held in Thessaloniki, Greece, between 1 to 4 September. The conference was organized by the "Design of Environmental Processes Laboratory", of the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete and the Cyprus University of Technology. The conference aimed to encourage the exchange of knowledge between academicians, scientists and engineers on hot issues and current developments in chemical and environmental engineering through sustainable perspective. The participants will have the opportunity to present their recent research findings on an extended spectrum of conference topics and be informed about new challenges, future trends, and technological innovations on sustainable processes following the principles of circular economy. After the completion of the conference, all abstracts/full papers will be published in the SUSTENG 2025 Conference Proceedings with ISBN number, while selected manuscripts will be published to at least two Special Issues at high IF scientific. Our project partner, Dr. Alexandros Pavlou from Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) did a presentation in the session “Biochemical engineering and green chemistry” with the title: “From Lab to Pilot Scale Microalgae-based Photobioreactors: Statistical Optimization of 3rd Generation Biofuel Production”. The presentation was divided in two different parts:- In the first part, the FUELGAE project was briefly presented (main goals, partners etc.), - In the second part, some results (mainly preliminary) were presented. Several photos and videos of the new Pilot-Scale Photobioreactor were also shown. https://www.susteng2025.tuc.gr/en/home
