| Session 11: Emerging Biofuels and Chemicals | |||
| This session will focus on the research and development of new fuels and chemicals from renewable feedstocks. Presentations will discuss recent progress in developing technologies to produce new fuels such as biogasoline and higher alcohols, advances in merging thermochemical processes with biological conversion, as well as new targets for biomass-derived chemicals. | |||
