"2010"- Mississippi State University Biofuels Conference: Fueling America and the World with the Next Generation of Biofuels / Jacksonville, Mississippi (August 12-13, 2010)

该奖项部分支持将于2010年8月12日至13日在密西西比州杰克逊举行的“2010密西西比州立大学生物燃料会议：用下一代生物燃料推动美国和世界”。来自工业界和学术界的国内和国际专家将介绍科学和工程基础方面的进展，以及从木质纤维素原料和废水中提取的生物燃料在扩大规模、遵守法规和分销方面面临的挑战。将有大量大学、国家实验室和公司参与，并将有一个学生海报比赛。国家科学基金会的资金将主要用于支付受邀演讲者（主要来自大学）的旅费。会议将有助于传播催化、原料制备和资源利用领域的最新生物燃料研究成果。它还旨在促进工业界和学术界研究人员之间的合作，从而进一步推进生物燃料技术。

This award is in partial support of the "2010 Mississippi State University Biofuels Conference: Fueling America and the World with the Next Generation of Biofuels," which be held in Jackson, Mississippi August 12-13, 2010. National and international experts from industry and academia will describe progress on science and engineering fundamentals, and the challenges with scale-up, regulatory compliance, and distribution for biofuels derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks and wastewater. There is to be significant participation by universities, national laboratories, and companies, and there will be a student poster contest. NSF funding will be used primarily to defray the cost of travel for invited speakers, mostly from universities. The conference will aid in the dissemination of the latest biofuels research in the areas of catalysis, feedstock preparation, and resource utilization. It is also intended to foster collaborations among researchers in industry and academia, resulting in the further advancement of biofuel technology.
