Proposal ID: 1137087PI: Nathan S MosierThis award will support participant travel to a China-US Workshop titled Barriers to Sustainable Photosynthetic Production of Biofuels to be held as part of the China-US Joint Research Center Symposium in September 2011 at Purdue University.Intellectual MeritDirect conversion of reduced carbon from photosynthesis to energy-rich hydrocarbons and lipids is one approach that may successful for the sustainable production of biofuels. Autotrophic organisms that directly produce biofuels in scalable systems through the photosynthetic fixation of atmospheric carbon have significant potential to enable drop-in biofuel production. The workshop will focus on identifying the critical knowledge gaps in photosynthetically driven, biocatalytic production of drop-in biofuels. The workshop will examine issues with biofuels from phototropic microorganisms (e.g. algae) and not on lignocellulosic biomass conversion. The workshop will have three research and education objectives: 1) Identify the critical knowledge gaps in photosynthecially driven synthesis of reduced carbon biomolecules for drop-in biofuels and bioproducts; 2) Identify potential research collaborations and partnerships between US and China institutions; and 3) Develop recommendations for areas of funding needs to enable the bio-economy.Broader ImpactsThe outcome of the workshop will be a report that outlines the knowledge gaps and identifies specific areas where joint US-China research efforts could be most effective in algae-based biofuel production. The report will also list potential research collaborations that are enabled by partnerships between US and China institutions affiliated with the China-US Joint Research Center for Ecosystem and Environmental Change. The inclusion of graduate students in the workshop will foster a greater global understanding of the impacts of their research, and a greater appreciation for the global community of scientists working in the area of sustainable energy production.

提案ID：1137087 PI：Nathan S Mosier 2011年9月，在美国普渡大学举行的中美联合研究中心研讨会上，将举办一个名为“生物燃料可持续光合生产的障碍”的中美研讨会。学术价值将光合作用中的碳直接转化为富含能量的碳氢化合物和脂类是一种可能成功的可持续生产生物燃料的方法。 通过光合作用固定大气碳，在可扩展系统中直接生产生物燃料的自养生物具有实现直接生物燃料生产的巨大潜力。研讨会将侧重于确定在光合作用驱动的生物催化生产的直接生物燃料的关键知识差距。 研讨会将审查来自向光微生物（如藻类）的生物燃料问题，而不是木质纤维素生物质转化问题。 研讨会将有三个研究和教育目标：1）确定在光化学驱动的生物燃料和生物产品的还原碳生物分子合成方面的关键知识差距; 2）确定美国和中国机构之间潜在的研究合作和伙伴关系;（3）就资金需求领域提出建议，更广泛的影响研讨会的成果将是一份报告，概述知识差距，并确定美中联合研究工作在藻类生物燃料生产中最有效的具体领域。 该报告还将列出中美生态系统与环境变化联合研究中心下属的美国和中国机构之间的伙伴关系所促成的潜在研究合作。 让研究生参加讲习班将促进全球更好地了解他们的研究所产生的影响，并使全球科学家更好地了解在可持续能源生产领域工作的科学家。
