Conference: International Young Scientist Symposium on Catalytic Biomass Conversion in Dalian, China, July 11-13, 2017

主要研究者：Sievers，Carsten提案ID：1703909该奖项为美国研究人员提供差旅费，以参加将于2017年7月11日至13日在中国科学院大连化学物理研究所（DICP）举行的国际青年科学家催化生物质转化研讨会（IYCBC）。 研讨会将为美国研究人员提供机会，与欧洲和亚洲的同行分享生物质转化领域的研究经验，从而确保美国在生物质转化为燃料和化学品的催化科学和技术在全球范围内的持续竞争力。IYCBC将包括新型催化剂材料的制备和表征，纤维素和木质素模型化合物的转化，催化剂和工艺的设计，以及生物质衍生化学品的生命周期分析和碳足迹跟踪。 美国研究人员将在一个促进长期合作的环境中接触欧洲和亚洲同行的不同生物质研究和技术实践。 这种国际合作对于通过对环境影响最小的催化方法找到燃料和化学品生产的可持续解决方案至关重要。

PI: Sievers, CarstenProposal ID: 1703909The award provides travel expenses for U.S. researchers to attend the International Young Scientist Symposium on Catalytic Biomass Conversion (IYCBC) that will be held at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, on July 11-13, 2017. The symposium will provide the U.S. researchers the opportunity to share research experiences in the biomass conversion area with peers from Europe and Asia, thus ensuring continued worldwide competitiveness of U.S. catalytic science and technology in biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals.The IYCBC will include topics like preparation and characterization of novel catalyst materials, conversion of cellulose and lignin model compounds, design of catalysts and processes, and life-cycle analysis and carbon footprint tracking for biomass-derived chemicals. The U.S. researchers will be exposed to the different biomass research and technology practices of their European and Asian counterparts in an environment that will promote long term collaboration. Such international collaborations are vital for finding sustainable solutions for the production of fuels and chemicals via catalytic approaches that have minimal impact on the environment.
