Speakers: Dr Praveen Vadlani
Gary and Betty Lortscher Associate Professor in Renewable Energy
Kansas State University
United States
Abstract: The first decade of this century witnessed unprecedented growth in bio-based industry, particularly in grain-based ethanol industry, due to unsteady oil prices, geo-political uncertainties, increased environmental awareness and federal government support to attain self-sufficiency in transportation fuel needs of the nation. While considerable research and development efforts are ongoing at academia and industry to attain biofuels production targets specified by the federal mandates, it is imperative to develop integrated processes that will consider all the constituents of the feedstocks and the byproduct streams for value-added products. This integrated approach to biofuels production will provide additional revenue streams and alleviate environmental problems associated with the disposal of byproduct and waste streams. In this talk, recent advances in biofuels production via biochemical platform from renewable biomass will be discussed. In addition, production of drop-in biofuels and chemicals from biomass-derived renewable sugars using engineering E. coli microbial system will be presented.
Date: 21 November 2013
Time: 1400 -- 1500 h
Venue: 212 CF Bentley Conference Center, ICRISAT, India
