Heterogeneous Catalysis For Biomass Conversion
August 1 - 6, 2010
Kloster Seeon, Germany
The summer school aims to bring together participants in the PIRE network for a focused discussion on the catalysis of biomass conversion. The focus of the conference will be on following major areas: Sustainability, Structure of Biomass & its Biochemistry, Catalysis, Analytical Approaches, Reactor Design and Kinetic Analysis, and Nature of the Carbon Economy.
The PIRE 2010 Summer Conference will be by invitation only, and restricted to the collaborators involved in the PIRE network and others closely connected with the research programs.
