Session 7: Biorefinery Deployment
Advanced biofuels technologies are starting to emerge from the laboratory and enter the commercial marketplace. A variety of alternative approaches for utilizing biomass for liquid fuels production are being commercialized, with many demonstration projects underway. Speakers in this session will describe current efforts and progress in demonstrating and deploying advanced biofuels/biorefining technologies.
