Converting hybrid poplar to biofuels and biochemicals: feedstock properties and conversion techniques
October 21, 2015 | 11:30am PDT
Woody biomass can be converted into a variety of biofuels and biochemical. Researchers at the University of Washington are fine-tuning the process to convert hybrid poplars into acetic acid, ethanol, jet fuel, and other products. This webinar will take a step-by-step look at how lignocellulosic biomass is converted to chemicals then biofuels.
Topics will include:
- Thermochemical fractionation of biomass to polymers
- Enzymatic hydrolysis of polymers and fermentation of sugars to biochemicals
- Catalytic conversion of ethanol to hydrocarbon fuels.
When: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 | 11:30pm – 12:30pm Pacific Time
Who Should Attend: Researchers, environmental professionals, students, land managers, bio-industry representatives, Extension professionals, and community leaders.
Presenters: Renata Bura and Ferando Resende from the University of Washington
Sponsored by: Washington State University Extension with funding from Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Competitive Grant no. 2011-68005-30407 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
