Session: Integrated Biorefineries for Lignocellulosic Biomass (2009 Annual Meeting)

Wednesday, November 11, 2009: 8:30 AM

Cheekwood F (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:

This plenary session will deal with integrated biorefineries for lignocellulosic biomass as the tentative biomass. It will explore novel approaches and opportunities for integrated biorefineries including combined biochemical and thermochemical approaches based on conventional/traditional bio-based industries including forest industries, corn based ethanol, biodiesel, power and utilities etc.
