Biofuel development in Indonesia: progress and challengesCIFOR-ICRAF
Concerns over energy security, volatile fuel prices and rising greenhouse gas emissions encourage many countries to develop biofuels — Indonesia, the world’s largest crude palm oil producer, is one such country. In this presentation, CIFOR scientist Heru Komarudin gives an overview of biofuel development in Indonesia, highlighting some findings from the EC Bioenergy and CAPRi project (www.cifor.org/bioenergy/). He discusses some challenges facing Indonesia’s involvement in biofuels and ends with some recommendations relevant to policy makers and investors.
Heru gave this presentation as part of the ‘Global biofuel program in developing and developed countries’ session at the second Annual World Congress of Bioenergy: Renewable Energy for Sustainability, held in Xi’an, China on 25–28 April 2012.
Shell held a field visit for Socially Responsible Investors in Houston and in the Haynesville gas field, Louisiana, at which Russ Ford, EVP onshore gas, John Hollowell, EVP deepwater and Paul Goodfellow, VP production onshore gas all presented. The focus of the presentations and visit was to illustrate Shell’s tight gas operations in the context of sustainable development and our commitment to responsible deepwater operations.
This paper was presented on the 8th November 2012 at an SCI conference on Processing Lignocellulosic Biomass.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Global energy demand will double over the next 40 years.
Containing CO2 growth to safe atmospheric levels requires that zero
carbon renewable fuels make up more than 30% of the fuel pool.
Industrial growth must be offset by increased energy efficiency,
minimized waste and a reduced GHG footprint to protect climate.
LanzaTech responds to our critical 21st Century challenges by capturing
and beneficially reusing waste carbon and producing a zero carbon fuel.
