Adhikari/1206492The main objective of this project is to host a workshop on lignocellulosic biofuels at Auburn University from June 13-15, 2012. This award will support travel costs for the speakers attending the workshop. This workshop will bring together a diverse audience with a collective wealth of knowledge that will: (1) identify research gaps that currently exist in thermal biomass conversion processes 2) determine future research directions that will provide immediate and long-term benefits and to help realize the goals of The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, which calls for a reduction in the country's reliance on fossil fuels (3) exchange information via several panel sessions with distinguished and knowledgeable speakers (4) educate the biofuels community about the relevant issues that need to be addressed to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of biofuels A main goal of this workshop is to identify technological barriers to producing biofuels on a commercial scale from gasification and fast pyrolysis processes. This objective will be achieved by organizing a two-day workshop at Auburn University. Experts in biomass gasification, pyrolysis, and logistics from industry, academia, and national laboratories will be invited to participate in the workshop. This workshop will follow the format of individual presentations followed by panel discussion by experts. Three sessions will be organized during the workshop: (i) biomass logistics, (ii) gasification, and (iii) pyrolysis. In terms of the broader impacts, outreach activities will be organized for 7th and 8th grade students who will learn what the gasification and pyrolysis technologies are and how to make biofuels using these technologies. Students will also learn how to make biodiesel from waste vegetable oils recycled from local restaurants. During the students' visit, they will have an opportunity to see a mobile downdraft gasifier. The exchange of ideas and information by speakers and participants will advance the knowledge-base of the participants. It will also foster collaborations leading to basic and applied research that increases the impact of the biofuels community.

Adhikari/1206492该项目的主要目标是于2012年6月13日至15日在奥本大学举办一个关于木质纤维素生物燃料的研讨会。 该奖项将资助参加研讨会的演讲者的差旅费。 本次研讨会将汇集不同的观众与集体的知识财富，将： (1)确定目前生物质热转化过程中存在的研究差距 2)确定未来的研究方向，以提供即时和长期的利益，并帮助实现2007年《能源独立和安全法案》（EISA）的目标，该法案呼吁减少国家对化石燃料的依赖（3）通过与杰出和知识渊博的演讲者进行多次小组会议交流信息 (4)教育生物燃料社区关于需要解决的相关问题，以提高生物燃料的效率和降低成本。本次研讨会的主要目标是确定从气化和快速热解过程中以商业规模生产生物燃料的技术障碍。这一目标将通过在奥本大学举办为期两天的讲习班来实现。 来自工业界、学术界和国家实验室的生物质气化、热解和物流专家将应邀参加研讨会。研讨会将采用个人发言，然后由专家进行小组讨论的形式。研讨会期间将组织三场会议：（一）生物质物流;（二）气化;（三）热解。在更广泛的影响方面，将为七年级和八年级的学生组织外联活动，他们将学习气化和热解技术是什么以及如何使用这些技术制造生物燃料。学生还将学习如何从当地餐馆回收的废植物油中生产生物柴油。在学生的访问，他们将有机会看到一个移动的下吸式气化炉。 发言者和与会者之间的思想和信息交流将增进与会者的知识基础。 它还将促进基础和应用研究方面的合作，以增加生物燃料界的影响。
