Synopsis:
   This Forum explores next generation of hydrocarbon fuel production technologies using biowaste and biomass with environment -enhancing capabilities. The Environment-Enhancing Energy (E2-Energy) technologies should be economically viable, environmentally sustainable and have the potential to ultimately meet the human need for liquid fuel.

   The Purposes of this Forum are to: (1) Identify emerging and future Environment-Enhancing Energy technologies for next generation hydrocarbon liquid fuels with a total net-zero, or negative carbon emission during their life-cycles; and (2) Promote collaboration among, and invest in the academia, industry and government agencies between China and U.S, jointly or independently, in the R&D of Environment-Enhancing Energy area.

   The forum will have oral presentations from invited speakers to lead discussion. There will be a poster session for all participants, and several round table discussions involving all participants to identify the needs and research/development strategies for Environment-Enhancing Energy.

Topics:

  • Issues of energy, environment, national security and economic development
  • State-of-the-art of next generation of hydrocarbon fuel technologies
  • Bioscience and engineering of biomass production
  • Biowaste (animal, human and food processing) for liquid fuel conversion
  • Biomass (Algae and lignocellulose) for liquid fuel conversion
  • Waste water cleaning and water resources in bioenergy production
  • Carbon sequestration and nutrient reuse
  • Catalysis of biomass conversion
  • Socio-Economic issues related to bioenergy
