The co-production of valuable chemicals and materials can improve the economic viability of bio-refinery processes that convert renewable biomass resources into biofuels. To serve as a forum for emerging bio-refinery concepts, the fourth scientific conference in the Frontiers in Biorefining series, titled Chemicals and Materials from Renewable Carbon, will be held during November 2016, at St. Simons Island, Georgia. This conference will assemble scientists and engineers from around the world to share recent progress, explore information needs, and present ideas that advance integrated bio-refinery concepts. A total of 90 participants from academia, government, and industry are expected. This award will support the travel of five graduate student researchers to present their original research at the conference, and to network with influential scientific and industrial researchers in the field of biorefining.As research programs continue to build the body of fundamental science that create new bio-refinery concepts, a scientific conference to facilitate networking, exchange ideas, and further collaboration between scientists and research institutions is timely. The opening plenary session will highlight key developments in emerging bio-refinery concepts by invited scientists. The subsequent technical program emphasizes pathways for conversion of biomass to useful and valuable chemicals and materials in six parallel sessions and a student poster reception. Specific sessions are: Engineered feedstocks for the bio-refinery; Cell wall deconstruction and biomass fractionation; Catalytic conversion of lignin; Catalytic conversion of carbohydrates; Biochemical conversion of carbohydrates and lignin; Catalytic thermochemical conversion of whole biomass; The interface of biomass and petrochemicals. An open-access, peer-reviewed paper will summarize the activities at the conference in an effort to guide future research, funding opportunities, and policymaking in the fields of biorefining and bioenergy.

有价值的化学物质和材料的共同生产可以改善将可再生生物量资源转化为生物燃料的生物筹集过程的经济可行性。 为了作为新兴生物详细概念的论坛，2016年11月在佐治亚州的圣西蒙斯岛举行，将在生物精致系列中的第四届科学会议，标题为“可再生碳的化学品和材料”。 这次会议将汇集来自世界各地的科学家和工程师，分享最新进展，探索信息需求，并提出推动综合生物预订概念的想法。预计总共有来自学术界，政府和工业的90名参与者。该奖项将支持五名研究生研究人员的旅行，以在会议上介绍他们的原始研究，并与有影响力的科学和工业研究人员在生物修复领域进行建立联系。AS研究计划继续建立基本科学的机构，以创建新的生物预订概念，这是一项新的生物精致概念，这是一个科学会议，以促进网络，交流思想，与科学家和研究机构之间的交流和进一步的协作和研究Instuctions和研究。开幕式的全体会议将强调受邀科学家的新兴生物详细概念的关键发展。随后的技术计划强调了在六个平行会议和学生海报接收中将生物质转化为有用的和有价值的化学物质和材料的途径。 具体会议是：生物融资的工程原料；细胞壁解构和生物量分馏；木质素的催化转化；碳水化合物的催化转化；碳水化合物和木质素的生化转化；整个生物量的催化热化学转化；生物质和石化的界面。 一份开放式，经过同行评审的论文将总结会议上的活动，以指导未来的研究，资助机会和生物培养和生物能源领域的决策。
