Synopsis:

   The Environment-Enhancing Energy (E2-Energy) is a concept of producing renewable biofuels and chemicals with economical viability and environmental sustainability. This Conference explores the resources and production technologies for next generation of hydrocarbon fuels and biomaterials with environment-enhancing capabilities, with specific respects to carbon capture, nutrients reuse, wastewater treatment and reuse. Feedstocks are focused on biowastes and other types of biomass including but not limited to those from agricultural, industrial and municipal sources.

   Environmental protection and energy production are among the greatest challenges facing mankind in the 21st century. Mitigation on climate change are in eminent demand. China and the United States are the top two energy users, and at the same time the top two CO2 emitters. The shared responsibilities on these two great countries to meet these grand challenges are unprecedented. In the context of our modern society, the relationship of environment and energy are more often opponents rather than friendly co-existents. To sustain our economy and environment, our energy sources must be environmentally enhancing and economically sustainable. We envision that E2-Energy technologies should be explored to aim at meeting our entire liquid fuel need, achieving net-zero carbon emission and complete water reuse, and cycling the nutrients in the feedstocks.

Topics:

  • Issues of energy, environment, national security and economic development
  • State-of-the-art technologies for next generation of hydrocarbon fuels and new chemicals
  • Bioscience and engineering of biomass production
  • Thermochemical processes of biowastes/biomass for liquid/gaseous fuels or chemicals
  • Biochemical processes of biowastes/biomass for liquid/gaseous fuels or chemicals
  • Biomass (Algae and lignocellulose) for liquid/gaseous fuels or chemicals
  • Waste water cleaning and water resources in bioenergy and chemicals production
  • Carbon sequestration and nutrient reuse
  • Catalysis of biomass conversion
  • Socio-Economic issues related to bioenergy

    History:

        The 1st Environment-Enhancing Energy Forum was initiated in 2010, Beijing, Initiated by scholars in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and China Agricultural University (CAU) (http://www.e2-energy.illinois.edu/Forum2010.html). The theme is to explore the emerging technology and future of renewable fuel to replace fossil fuel and at the same time to protect our environment. Since then China has become the second largest economy, the largest fossil fuel user and the largest carbon emission source in the world. The forum grows to a general area of Environment-Enhancing Energy and Renewable Resources, and becomes a biannual conferences: 2012 in Shanghai, 2014 in Beijing.

    Purposes:

       1. Report the emerging and future E2 Energy technologies for next generation hydrocarbon liquid fuels with a total net-zero, or negative carbon emission during their life-cycles. Such technologies include liquid fuel conversion from biowastes (of animal, municipal and food processing) and biomass (of algae and lignocellulose). An example is hydrothermal process (HTP) of biowastes and algae into crude oil which mimics nature’s process by using similar feedstocks to produce crude oil within minutes instead of geological time

       2. Promote collaborations among, and invest in the academia, industry and government agencies jointly or independently, in the R&D of E2 Energy area. Such collaborations and investments may include (but not exclude) establishing research centers, exchanging scientists, allocating special funding for such R&D programs (both in China and U.S.), and being included in the upcoming ‘Five-Year Plan’ (in China).
