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.

有价值的化学品和材料的联合生产可以提高将可再生生物质资源转化为生物燃料的生物精炼工艺的经济可行性。 为了作为新兴生物炼制概念的论坛，生物炼制前沿系列的第四次科学会议，题为“可再生碳的化学品和材料”，将于 2016 年 11 月在佐治亚州圣西蒙斯岛举行。 这次会议将聚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，并提出推进综合生物炼制概念的想法。预计共有 90 名来自学术界、政府和工业界的参与者。该奖项将支持五名研究生研究人员在会议上展示他们的原创研究，并与生物精炼领域有影响力的科学和工业研究人员建立联系。随着研究项目不断建立创造新生物精炼概念的基础科学体系，召开一次科学会议来促进科学家和研究机构之间的联系、交流思想和进一步合作是适时的。开幕全体会议将由受邀科学家重点介绍新兴生物炼制概念的关键进展。随后的技术计划强调在六个平行会议和学生海报招待会中将生物质转化为有用且有价值的化学品和材料的途径。 具体会议包括： 生物精炼厂的工程原料；细胞壁解构和生物质分级分离；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；整个生物质的催化热化学转化；生物质与石化产品的界面。 一篇开放获取、经过同行评审的论文将总结会议的活动，以指导生物精炼和生物能源领域的未来研究、资助机会和政策制定。
