Seventeenth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1996 Proceedings as Volumes 57 and 58 of Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology ABAB Symposium Series, Vol. 57/58

In the Seventeenth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, leading researchers from academia, industry, and government present state-of-the-art papers on how bioengineering can be used to produce fuels and chemicals competitively. This year's program covered topics in thermal, chemical, and biological processing; applied biological processing; bioprocessing research; process economics and commercialization; and environmental biotechnology. The ideas and techniques described will play an important role in developing new biological processes for producing fuels and chemicals on a large scale, and in reducing pollution, waste disposal problems, and the potential for global climate change.
