FUEL 63 |
| The US and Brazil are active in bio and thermo chemical research and technology applied to conversion of basic biomass building blocks to develop a wide variety of fuels, chemicals, and materials. Through a partnership with the US National Science Foundation Discovery Corps Program, the Brazilian Chemical Society, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) and the ACS FUEL, AGFD AGRO, and BIOT Divisions, this project is developing an exchange / collaboration framework and a bilateral research agenda associated with the chemistries of crop-based and naturally occurring biomass feedstocks; biorefining, storage and transportation; and by/value-added co-products. Described briefly in this session will be key project outputs including best science of biorenewable chemistry (Brazilian graduate student poster winner), a May 2007 symposium in Brazil, web/audio seminars, and coordinated site visits of research labs and product facilities in Brazil. |
