On September 13, the 9th International Bioprocessing Conference(IBA-IFIBiop 2021) was held in Saltillo, Mexico. This conference announced the co-opted list of fellows of the International Bioprocessing Association(IBA).Through expert recommendation, selection and review by the IBA’s Central Committee, Professor Zhang Quanguo of Henan Agricultural University, standing out among thousands of applicants around the world, was conferred Fellow Award for his remarkable contributions in waste utilization, solar photo-fermentation bio-hydrogen production, and etc.
The IBA is considered a world authority of academic organization on biomass resources and bioengineering. It is committed to promoting global scientific research in bioprocessing, serving as a platform of learning and exchanges for international scientific research institutes, related companies and scientists. As an international forum on industrial bioprocessing, the IBA enjoys a high reputation in the academic circles worldwide and has become an important platform for the global industrial biotechnology field to catch up with the latest research progress and communicate with each other.
Professor Zhang and his team have long been engaged in the research and development of agricultural waste utilization technology. He is Director of Key Laboratory of New Materials and Facilities for Renewable Energy, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, China. He is the Deputy Director of Steering Committee of Agricultural Engineering Education, Ministry of Education, China.
