Objective(s):
The objective of this workshop is to explore progress and opportunities in developing, producing, and commercializing new crops and technologies for emerging bioenergy sectors.

Success of emerging bioenergy industries hinge on the simultaneous development and management of an entire supply chain ranging from crops to bioprocessing, on a substantial scale. Crop improvement, production, bioprocessing, and development of novel value-added technologies all play important roles in the efficiency, feasibility and profitability of the entire endeavor. Moreover, there is considerable interdependence among all of the various components, disciplines, and constituents in the supply chain. This workshop will take a broad view to explore progress, challenges, and opportunities facing the future of bioenergy.
