Session 6
Advanced Biofuels, Chemicals, and Co-Products II
Tuesday, April 29, 2014: 8:00 AM-11:25 AM
Grand Ballroom A-C, lobby level (Hilton Clearwater Beach)
Conveners:
Abdul Aala Najmus Saqib - Green Biologics, Didcot, and Gregg T. Beckham - National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO
Chemicals and advanced biofuels (such as biogasoline, jet fuel, higher alcohols and fatty acids, biogas, etc.) can be produced from biomass-derived sugars, biomass-derived synthesis gas, or other sustainable substrates. This session will highlight advances in biological and combined thermochemical/biological production of these substances. Production of bio-based intermediates for petroleum refinery feedstocks as well as co-products from lignin or other side streams will also be presented. There are two session covering these topics.
