报告摘要：

This seminar introduces the context of the research related to carbon neutrality, biomass & bioresources, biomass/organic solid wastes conversion technologies & hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), focuses on the results and recent accomplishment of Prof. Xu’s team on HTL of various bio-feedstocks for biocrude production, and co-production of biogas and biocrude oil from wastewater sludge and other lignocellulosic biomass, as well as HTL process upscaling. Prof. Xu will also share his future perspectives on advanced biorefinery for valorization biomass and biowastes.

本次研讨会介绍了碳中和、生物质与生物资源、生物质/有机固体废弃物转化技术与水热液化（HTL）等相关研究的背景，重点介绍了徐教授团队在各种生物原料HTL生产生物原油，废水污泥和其他木质纤维素生物质联产沼气和生物原油，以及HTL工艺升级等方面的研究成果和最新进展。徐教授还将分享他对增值化生物质和生物废弃物的先进生物炼制技术的未来展望。

徐春保院士简介：

Prof. Xu is currently Chair Professor of Advanced Biorefinery at City University of Hong Kong, Fellow of Chemical Institute of Canada (FCIC) and Fellow of Canadian Academy of Engineering (FCAE). He was a tenured Full Professor between July 2014 and June 2023 and the NSERC/FPInnovations Industrial Research Chair in Forest Biorefinery (2011-2016) at Western University, acquiring an international reputation for research, innovations and industrial applications of high-value bioproducts from renewable resources, particularly development of bio-based chemicals and materials from forestry/ agricultural residues, catalytic conversion of glycerol and sugars into green hydrogen chemicals, and resources recovery from wastewater sludges and microalgae. He has authored/edited 3 books on biorefinery, and published 20+ book chapters and 300+ papers in peer-reviewed journals. In accordance to Google Scholar, his work has received over 18,000 total citations with an H-index of 72 to date, and was ranked among the 100,000 most-cited scientists in the world in 2019 and the top 2 percent of their sub-fields (0.22% in the energy sub-field). With 16 PCT/US/Canadian/Chinese Patents issued/pending, Dr. Xu has made outstanding contributions to applied science and engineering practice. He was the recipient of the 2011 Syncrude Canada Innovation Award and the 2019 Award in Design and Industrial Practice from Canadian Society of Chemical Engineering. He is Editor-in-chief for International Journal of Chemical Reactor Engineering, and Associate Editor for Biomass and Bioenergy, as well as Resources Chemicals and Materials.
