1744775 (Zhang). This workshop will focus on the paradigm of Environment-Enhancing Food, Energy and Water Systems (EE-FEWS) that addresses critical problems by generating significant amounts of bioenergy and food via bio/chemo/thermo conversion and multicycle reuse of nutrients and wastewater in the biowaste stream. At the same time, EE-FEWS seeks to enhance environmental quality by capturing carbon and cleaning wastewater. The U.S. has an estimated 79 million dry tons of sustainably collectable livestock manure and food processing waste. Through the EE-FEWS approach, this biowaste stream has the potential to be amplified via multi-cycle nutrient and wastewater reuse to 240-800 million tons of mixed algal-bacteria feedstocks that can be converted into 120-400 million tons of biocrude oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), while cleaning an estimated 7.9 billion tons of wastewater. Additionally, food would be produced without the need for additional reactive fertilizer or water. This workshop is targeted to contribute significant advancements in sharing and advancing knowledge of the following: utilizing readily available biowaste and biomass inputs; improving efficiency for biowaste/biomass conversion (including thermochemical, biochemical and biological); demonstrating that nutrients in the original biowaste can be efficiently separated in the conversion process and reused multiple times, thus amplifying biomass to produce unprecedented amounts of biocrude; and establishing that the chemicals of environmental concern in the original biowaste can be substantially removed/converted through conversion and wastewater treatment processes. The workshop will involve a broad range of education and outreach opportunities from K-12 to graduate studies, for under-represented minorities, industry and the general public. The educational goal is to educate a new generation of scientists and engineers equipped with a solid foundation and broad perspectives for addressing issues related to the nexus of Food-Enegy-Water (FEW). By recycling nutrients and extracting hydrocarbons in waste streams, producing high value foods, capturing carbon and cleaning water by growing algae, the goal is to be able to produce needed energy and food, and, at the same time, reuse water and enhance the quality of the environment. The dissemination plan is to utilize a workshop website, email lists, professional contacts, etc. to reach out and enhance the awareness of the (FEW) nexus challenge, to develop relevant technologies, and to contribute to the sustainability of society. The workshop is scheduled to be held June 13-15, 2018 in Beijing.

1744775（张）。该研讨会将重点关注环境增强食品，能源和水系统（EE-FEWS）的范例，该系统通过生物/化学/热转换和生物废物流中营养物质和废水的多循环再利用产生大量生物能源和食品来解决关键问题。与此同时，EE-FEWS通过捕获碳和清洁废水来提高环境质量。据估计，美国有7900万干吨可持续收集的牲畜粪便和食品加工废物。通过EE-FEWS方法，这种生物废物流有可能通过多循环养分和废水再利用扩大到2.4 - 8亿吨混合藻类-细菌原料，这些原料可以通过水热液化（HTL）转化为1.2 - 4亿吨生物原油，同时清洁估计79亿吨废水。此外，粮食生产将不需要额外的活性肥料或水。本次研讨会的目标是在分享和推进以下知识方面取得重大进展：利用现有的生物废物和生物质投入;提高生物废物/生物质转化的效率（包括热化学、生物化学和生物学）;证明了原始生物废弃物中的营养物质可以在转化过程中有效分离并多次重复使用，从而放大生物质以产生前所未有的量的生物原油;并且确定原始生物废物中的环境关注的化学品可以通过转化和废水处理过程基本上去除/转化。讲习班将为代表性不足的少数群体、工业界和公众提供从K-12到研究生学习的广泛教育和外联机会。教育目标是教育新一代科学家和工程师，他们具有坚实的基础和广阔的视野，可以解决与粮食-能源-水（FEW）关系有关的问题。通过回收废物流中的营养物质和提取碳氢化合物，生产高价值的食物，捕获碳和通过生长藻类清洁水，目标是能够生产所需的能源和食物，同时，再利用水，提高环境质量。传播计划是利用研讨会网站、电子邮件列表、专业联系人等，以扩大和提高对（少数）关系挑战的认识，开发相关技术，并为社会的可持续性做出贡献。研讨会定于2018年6月13日至15日在北京举行。
