CBET-0803137, LoganThis award funds partial support of a symposium on microbial fuel cells (MFC) and bioenergy. The symposium is to be held on the main campus of Pennsylvania State University in University Park, PA, May 27-29, 2008. MFCs offer a promising new method of bioenergy production by directly converting chemical energy in organic matter into electricity. With slight modifications, and a small energy input (1/10th that used for water hydrolysis), pure hydrogen gas can alternatively be produced (microbial electrolysis cells or MECs). MFC/MEC student and faculty researchers and other interested parties (such as companies) will be brought together for a symposium completely dedicated to the topic of MFC/MEC research. Attendance of approximately 150 participants from a wide variety of backgrounds from all around the world is anticipated. Support is requested primarily for travel expenses for MFC/MEC researchers and their students.

该奖项资助对微生物燃料电池和生物能源研讨会的部分支持。研讨会将于2008年5月27日至29日在宾夕法尼亚州大学园区的宾夕法尼亚州立大学主校区举行。MFC通过将有机物中的化学能直接转化为电能，提供了一种很有前途的生物能源生产新方法。只需稍加改动和少量的能量输入(1/10用于水的水解)，就可以替代地生产纯氢气(微生物电解槽或MECs)。MFC/MEC的学生和教师、研究人员和其他感兴趣的各方(如公司)将被召集在一起，举行一个完全致力于MFC/MEC研究主题的研讨会。预计将有来自世界各地不同背景的约150名与会者出席。申请支持的主要是MFC/MEC研究人员及其学生的旅费。
