Delivering bio-based fuels, chemicals, and materials for a decarbonized economy

Among society’s greatest challenges is developing sustainable and cost-effective ways to produce fuels, chemicals and materials while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This session will review the scale of this grand societal challenge, illustrate advances needed to enable cost-competitive and lower net GHG synthesis of products needed by society, and discuss the environmental and socio-economic benefits of a bio-based industrial sector.
