MARK FINKELSTEIN National Renewable Energy Laboratory BRIAN H.
DAVISON Oak Ridge National Laboratory The proceedings of the 19th
symposium on Biotechnologyfor Fuels and Chemicals, held in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, May 4-8, 1997, had over 200 attendees. This
meeting continues to provide a unique forum for the presentation of
new applications and recent research advances in the production of
fuels and chemicals through biotech nology. The utilization of
renewable resources, and in particular cellulosic biomass, has
broad implications in today's world of green house gases, global
warming, ozone layers, climate change, energy sustainability, and
carbon emissions. It also has relevance to the chemical industry's
continuing need to both lower current chemi cal production costs
and produce novel chemicals. Biotechnology and bioprocessing are
now making it possible to convert this bio mass to fuels and
chemicals in a commercially attractive fashion. The 19th Symposium
captures a wide range of technical topics from an academic,
industrial, or government perspective. A vari ety of biomass
feedstocks are discussed in Session 1, along with several updated
and innovative pretreatment processing approaches. The ability to
turn lignocellulosic materials into simple sugars offers great
opportunities to generate cost-effective feed stocks to be used in
biotechnological processes for the production of fuels and
chemicals. Through the advent of genetic engineering, the
development of a series of exciting new biocatalysts and microbes
were presented in Session 2."
