As modern biotechnology concepts begin to mature, it is quite appropriate to consider the mechanisms of transferring these concepts to the market place. Obviously many factors enter into this technology transfer, but one important ingredient is the necessary bridging research and development that allows appropriate basic biological research to be applied in an industrial or market setting. Of course, there must also be a knowledgeable and willing industrial participant or other agency who can provide the necessary capital and marketing expertise. Thus, there is a need for an enlightened exchange of information between the researcher, developer, and marketer. This Sixth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, provides a forum for the exchange of such information and the participants represent all facets of the appropriate research, development, and marketing community.

This book discusses the biorefinery of biomass feedstocks. In-depth chapters highlight the scientific and technical aspects and present a techno-economic analysis of such systems. By using a TEA approach, the authors present feasible pathways for the conversion of biomass (both residual biomass, energy crops, and algae biomass), showing the different possibilities for the production of biochemical materials, biofuels, and fertilizers. The concepts presented in this book will link companies, investors, and governments by providing a framework that will help reduce pollutants and create a biomass-related economy that incorporates the newest developments and technologies in the area.

Biorefineries outlines the processes and steps to successfully scale up production of two types of biofuels, butanol and ethanol, from cellulosic residues for commercial purposes. It covers practical topics, including biomass availability, pretreatment, fermentation, and water recycling, as well as policy and economic factors. This reflects the unique expertise of the editor team, whose backgrounds range from wood and herbaceous feedstocks to process economics and industrial expertise. The strategies presented in this book help readers to design integrated and efficient processes to reduce the cost of production and achieve an economically viable end product - Outlines the economic benefits of designing a single operational process. - Includes all currently available processes on pretreatment, fermentation and recovery - Covers all pretreatment, fermentation, and product recovery options - Focuses on biofuels but acts as a stepping stone to develop cost-efficient processes for an array of commodity chemicals

Recent studies have shown strong evidence of human activity impact on the climate of the planet. Higher temperatures and intensification of extreme weather events such as hurricanes are among the consequences. This scenario opens up several possibilities for what is now called "green" or low carbon economy. We are talking about creating new businesses and industries geared to develop products and services with low consumption of natural resources and reduced greenhouse gases emission. Within this category of business, biofuels is a highlight and the central theme of this book. The first section presents some research results for first generation ethanol production from starch and sugar raw materials. Chapters in the second section present results on some efforts around the world to develop an efficient technology for producing second-generation ethanol from different types of lignocellulosic materials. While these production technologies are being developed, different uses for ethanol could also be studied. The chapter in the third section points to the use of hydrogen in fuel cells, where this hydrogen could be produced from ethanol.
