Session 25: Lignocellulosic Conversion Sponsored by Novozymes
Wednesday, July 27, 2016: 8:00 AM-11:30 AM
Bayside A, 4th Fl (Sheraton New Orleans)
Conveners:
KC McFarland - Novozymes, Inc. and Tina Jeoh - University of California - Davis
Early commercialization is underway for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to value-added feedstocks and chemicals such as transportation fuels.  These "second generation" processes are requiring innovative engineering of steel, chemistry, microbes and enzymes.  This session will highlight some of the most recent work enabling the field.
