Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals


Book Description

In Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals: The Twenty-Eighth Symposium, leading researchers exchange cutting-edge technical information and update current trends in the development and application of biotechnology for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. This symposium emphasizes advances in biotechnology to produce high-volume, low-price products from renewable resources, while improving the environment.




Sixth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals


Book Description

As modern biotechnology concepts begin to mature, it is quite appropriate to consider the mechanisms of transferring these concepts to the market place. Obviously many factors enter into this technology transfer, but one important ingredient is the necessary bridging research and development that allows appropriate basic biological research to be applied in an industrial or market setting. Of course, there must also be a knowledgeable and willing industrial participant or other agency who can provide the necessary capital and marketing expertise. Thus, there is a need for an enlightened exchange of information between the researcher, developer, and marketer. This Sixth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, provides a forum for the exchange of such information and the participants represent all facets of the appropriate research, development, and marketing community.







Seventh Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals


Book Description

Today, much research and development for advanced biotechnology is directed toward biomedical applications; however, exciting new concepts for bioprocessing continue to be developed for fuel and chemical production.










Eighth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals


Book Description

The 'new biotechnology' is beginning to have a major impact, especially in the biomedical area. However, in a less spectacular but significant way, many advances in biotechnology are also being made with innovative bioprocessing approaches. This was certainly true at the Eighth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, a forum established for the presentation and exchange of scientific and technical information in this area. There were over 90 scientific papers presented on a variety of relevant subjects. In addition, the five discussion topics ranged from 'Mathematical Modeling for Bioprocessing' to 'Microbial Interactions with Coal'. Two special topics were addressed: 'Chemicals from Tissue Culture' and 'Value-Added Chemicals'.

Bioenergy Research: Basic and Advanced Concepts


Book Description

This volume is first part of the five-part set on bioenergy research. This volume covers current developments and both basic and advanced concepts in bioenergy production. Based on bioenergy road map, the book will also evaluate about the ratio existing between current challenges associated and practical implementation of these biofuels. The book complies up to-date progressive development in available bioenergy options and discusses opportunities and existing risks. The main objective of the book is to provide insights into the opportunities and required actions for the development of an economically viable bioenergy industry for practical replacement of fossil fuels. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of environmental sciences. National and international bioenergy scientists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read. Other four volumes of this set explore latest developments, commercial opportunities, waste to energy and integrated solution for bioenergy concerns.
