• Malaysian Researcher Meisam Tabatabaei on Biofuels and the Role They Can Play in Transitioning to a More Sustainable Future

  According to estimates, last year the global biofuel market reached $117 billion and is expected to exceed $200 billion by 2030, with the most rapid growth expected in African and Middle Eastern countries. Why is research in this field currently in demand and what are the challenges that scientists have yet to overcome? We discussed this topic with Professor Meisam Tabatabaei from the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, who has been working in the field of biomass, biofuels, and biorefineries for over 15 years and has collaborated with the UNDP to promote waste-oriented biofuels for almost a decade. This year, Prof. Tabatabaei is to take part in BIOCON, an international biotech conference organized by ITMO’s Advanced Engineering School.
