The transport sector will be dependent on a secure supply of liquid and gaseous fuels for a long time to come. Therefore the importance of sustainably produced alternative biobased fuels is expected to increase even further in the future.
Thereby the so-called drop-in biofuels can play a key role, as they can be integrated seamlessly into the existing infrastructure of various transport sectors. Thus, medium- to long-chain hydrocarbons, which can be produced from biomass, are not only promising choices for the substitution of fossil fuels, but are also currently the only viable option for specific transport sectors such as aviation.
In the light of these developments the Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR) and DECHEMA are organising the conference “DROP-IN Biofuels – International Conference on Microbial Hydrocarbon Production” from 25. to 27. Oct 2015 in Frankfurt/Main (Germany)
Professor Jay D. Keasling (University of California, Berkeley) will open the two day symposium with a keynote presentation.
The goal of the joint expert symposium in Frankfurt/Main is to depict the current development status of the “Production of liquid hydrocarbons on the basis of renewable resources for the use as biofuels” and to discuss the further potentials of developing these processes with international experts.
The symposium will present approaches for a better exploitation of feedstocks, as well as potential products, pathways, industrial hosts for a biotechnological production of hydrocarbons. Alternative routes to hydrocarbons and performance tests of potential bioderived fuels will be discussed. An industrial session where international companies present their activities will complete the programme, which will also be accompanied by a scientific poster exhibition to present recent research approaches and project results.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
