Overview

The Symposium on Biomaterials for Fuels and Chemicals is a meeting focused on the latest in biotechnology for fuels, chemicals and biomaterials.

Why Attend – 2023

The meeting is focused on the latest in biotechnology for fuels, chemicals and biomaterials. It is a technical meeting focusing exclusively on the biotechnologically-­‐mediated conversion of renewable feedstocks, especially lignocellulosic plant biomass, to fuels and chemicals.

Broad topic areas focus on feedstocks, pretreatment/fractionation, biological conversion, bioprocessing integration, process techno-­‐economics/commercialization/ sustainability, while varying special topics sessions cover new and cutting edge directions.

In the Biofuels, bioproducts, and synthetic biology session, topics of interest involve lignocellulose (sugars and lignin) upgrading to fuels, chemicals, and material precursors via chemical and biological tools. Hybrid conversion technologies using ethanol or other bioinermediates to fuels are also encouraged.

In the Alternative feedstocks and novel bio-based materials session, topics of interest include organic waste valorization, fermentation using CO2 and other C1 compounds, and the production of novel biomaterials and sustainable microbial food. This topic area places an emphasis on the use of non-model organisms to accomplish these goals.

In addition, in the Engineering and deconstruction of biomass and recalcitrant polymers session, topics of interest involve engineering of bioenergy crops for fuels and bioproduct production, biomass deconstruction and fractionation, and biomass degrading enzymes and microbes.

There is also a special session on biofuels and negative emissions.

Why Exhibit – 2023

Exhibitors will get an opportunity to showcase their products and services to a target audience.

Organizer

The Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB) is a nonprofit, international association dedicated to the advancement of microbiological sciences, especially as they apply to industrial products, biotechnology, materials, and processes.

Founded in 1949, SIMB promotes the exchange of scientific information through its meetings and publications, and serves as liaison among the specialized fields of microbiology.
