Topics Conference Introduction The 7th International Conference on Environmental Anaerobic Technologies and bioenergy will be held in Tianjin, China, on November 12-13, 2011. The conference will be hosted by Tianjin University, which is the first modern-style university in China, established in 1895 initially named “Peiyang University”. Sustainable water environment and renewable energy production from organic wastes such as wastewater and municipal solid waste etc., has been of our great interest with increasing research efforts made in last decade. Anaerobic technologies have contributed much for the above-mentioned subject and achieved significant improvement during the past two decades. This conference aims to provide a platform for sharing information related to updated development of anaerobic technologies and bioenergy technologies, as well as application and case studies, so as to promote interactions among academics, government and the industries. The conference will include keynote speeches, invited lectures, oral and poster presentations. This conference would also encourage young researchers and postgraduate students to present their academic viewpoints.
