industry, and 22% were from government. A total of oral
presentations (including Special Topic presentations) and 329
poster presentations were delivered. The high number of poster
submissions required splitting the poster session into two evening
sessions. (Conference details are posted at
http://www.eere.energy.gov/biomass/biotech_symposium/.) Almost 35%
of the attendees were international, showing the strong and
building worldwide interest in this area. Nations represented
included Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Central
African Republic, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Gambia, Germany,
Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands,
New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden,
Thailand, Turkey, United Ki- dom, and Venezuela, as well as the
United States. One of the focus areas for bioconversion of
renewable resources into fuels is conversion of lignocellulose into
sugars and the conversion of s- ars into fuels and other products.
This focus is continuing to expand toward the more encompassing
concept of the integrated multiproduct biorefinery--where the
production of multiple fuel, chemical, and energy products occurs
at one site using a combination of biochemical and ther- chemical
conversion technologies. The biorefinery concept continues to grow
as a unifying framework and vision, and the biorefinery theme f-
tured prominently in many talks and presentations. However, another
emerging theme was the importance of examining and optimizing the
entire biorefining process rather than just its
bioconversion-related elements.
