Scientific Committee member of the 2nd International Conference on Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability ( CEES 2023) Funchal, Madeira 23-27th of June 2023
2023 - 2023

Description	The second International Conference on Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability - CEES 2023 - will take place in Funchal (Madeira Island), Portugal, from 27 to 30 June 2023, and is being organized by Itecons. Globally, we are faced with resource scarcity, climate change and increased urbanisation. More than ever, there is a need for increasing the sustainability of the built environment and construction activities. As concerns with sustainability, efficiency and wellbeing continue to grow, the construction industry must not only continue to embrace new technologies, processes and materials, but also continue to address the many challenges facing the existing building stock. The first International CEES conference aims to bring together construction, energy and environment researchers, engineers, planners, stakeholders and policy makers to address these challenges. In order to achieve a sustainable built environment and a sustainable construction activity, professionals from a wide range of backgrounds need to work together, from researchers working on the development of innovative construction materials and technologies, on building physics and energy performance, or on studying the environmental effects of manmade infrastructure, to those working towards the adoption of the industry 4.0 principals or those working in a more regional and urban scale, all the while without neglecting the social and economic aspects of sustainable construction and housing. In this context, the Thematic Session organizers by Dr Apostolos Michopoulos (University of Cyprus, Cyprus) and Dr Vicky Skoulou (University of Hull, UK) are looking for contributions related with: TS04: LOW CARBON TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR BUILDINGS AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT

International Editorial Board Member of Biomass and Bioenergy (Elsevier)
2023

Description	Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials. The scope of Biomass and Bioenergy journal, Elsevier, extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy. Some of the key areas covered by the specific journal are: • Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation. • Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address 'new' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal. • Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes • Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation • Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues. The journal does not consider papers on the following subjects: • Performance of fuel combustion in engines • Technical aspects of first generation biofuels • Soil science papers with no direct linking to bioenergy generation • Isolation of yeast/bacterial strains • Purely analytical biochemistry derived studies that have no direct linking to bioenergy generation
