SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing a public workshop
entitled, ``Bioproducts to Enable Biofuels Workshop''. The Bioenergy
Technologies Office (BETO) is seeking to collect information from key
industry, university, national laboratory, and other stakeholders
regarding challenges associated with the coproduction of biomass
derived chemicals, products, and biofuels.
DATES: The public workshop will be held on July 16, 2015, from 8:00
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. MDT in Westminster, Colorado.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at The Westin Westminster, 10600

Purpose of the Meeting
BETO seeks to collect information from key industry, university,
national laboratory, and other stakeholders regarding the challenges
associated with the coproduction of biomass-derived chemicals,
products, and biofuels. The following topic areas of interest are
intended to be covered at the workshop:
1. Identifying and evaluating economic drivers for producing
bioproducts.
2. Identifying and prioritizing targets for bioproducts produced
from biofuel waste streams, coproduced with biofuels, or produced at
standalone facilities.
3. Identifying research and development challenges associated with
bioproducts produced from biofuel waste streams, coproduced with
biofuels, or produced at standalone facilities.
4. Identifying environmental considerations (i.e., life-cycle
analysis), carbon percentage dedicated to fuels vs. products (i.e.,
split stream), and ideal intermediates for bioproduct production to
enable biofuels.
Public Participation
Members of the public are welcome to attend the workshop.
Registration is free and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Persons interested in attending this public workshop must register
online by 4 p.m. MDT, July 15, 2015. Early registration is recommended
