BioProducts & BioEnergy SectorLignocellulose Techno-Business Webinar Bioconversion & Biorefinery Efficiency Bob Ingratta , Project Lead Feb. 19, 2009
Objective for today’s Webinar Objectives: • Further discuss Bioconversion & Biorefinery efficiency actions from the techno-business video-conference. • Provide additional expertise and broaden participation to accelerate commercialization. • Help SMEs innovate and grow Project supported by NRC-IRAP; BCIC; BCBN; CQVB
Agenda for today’s Webinar Agenda: • Introduction – Bob Ingratta, Project Lead • Biorefinery priority – Richard Hallman, BCIC • Featured Speaker – Dr. Sheldon Duff, UBC Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering Topic: Research on Pretreatment and C5 fermentation. 4. Discussion
What Questions do we seek to answer at the webinar? BioConversion Strategic Platform Actions: • What Pre-treatment/separation & process efficiency technology exists to improve lignocellulose yield and quality? • What C5 fermentation technology research improvements are under development? • What technology collaboration can accelerate innovation? • How can we accelerate pilot plant scale tests? • What technology or partnerships are still needed?
Summary of Webinar Process • We believe this is a Process for Support and not just a single meeting. • Our goal is to help sector research and SMEs accelerate innovation and grow. • Your feedback at the end of webinar is needed – Should we continue BC BioCleantech Forums on the additional strategic platforms for growth?
