BETO publishes the summary report of a workshop on performance-advantaged biobased chemicals
Type of post: FLASH NEWS.
The US Department of Energy’s
Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) has published a report that summarizes the
results of the workshop entitled “Moving Beyond
Drop-In Replacements: Performance-Advantaged Biobased Chemicals” held in Denver (Colorado,
USA) on June 1, 2017. Performance-advantaged
bioproducts are defined as novel products where the biobased molecule does not
resemble an existing petroleum derived molecule in structure and offer a
performance advantage over conventional products. There are still many
challenges facing their development and also many possible ways to address
those challenges. So, BETO hosted an event aimed at soliciting stakeholder
feedback to formulate a plan going forward.
