This workshop will identify US research capabilities, needs, and strategies for using catalysis to produce value-added chemical from biorenewable feedstocks. The goals of the workshop are: 1) to identify and communicate critical needs for building scientific and engineering capabilities in catalysis to convert biorenewables to value-added products; 2) to assess the current state of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis and biocatalysis research for conversion of biorenewables; 3) to identify curricular and workforce needs to prepare engineers and scientists for a biorenewables-based chemicals industry; 4) to develop and prioritize goals and directions for the development of effective catalysts and catalytic process for biorenewables conversion, including the integration of chemical and biochemical catalysis in the future "biorefinery." The workshop will assist in developing a community of researchers with diverse professional and individual backgrounds for this new area of catalysis. Workforce requirements for a biobased chemicals industry will be addressed including new educational initiatives. Curricular issues for chemical engineering and chemistry departments will be addressed. Participants will include faculty, industrial leaders, and national laboratory researchers.

本次研讨会将确定美国在利用催化从生物可再生原料生产增值化学品方面的研究能力、需求和战略。研讨会的目标是：1)确定和交流在催化将生物可再生能源转化为增值产品方面建立科学和工程能力的关键需求；2)评价生物可再生能源转化的多相、均相催化和生物催化研究现状；3)确定课程和劳动力需求，为以生物可再生能源为基础的化学工业培养工程师和科学家；4)制定并优先考虑生物可再生能源转化的有效催化剂和催化过程的发展目标和方向，包括未来“生物炼制”中化学和生化催化的整合。该研讨会将有助于为这一新的催化领域发展一个具有不同专业和个人背景的研究人员社区。生物基化学工业的劳动力需求将得到解决，包括新的教育举措。将讨论化学工程和化学系的课程问题。参与者将包括教师、行业领袖和国家实验室研究人员。
