Global anthropogenic carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) emissions have reached alarming concentrations that accelerate threats to our planet and human society, including climate change. United States inventories estimate that the combustion of fuels in transportation, electricity, and industry sectors contribute nearly three-quarters of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These CO2eq emissions remain increasing in the most recent inventories. More importantly, most pessimistic scenarios project that we will exceed GHG emissions at levels that can constrain our ability to reverse the global warming effects if we do not achieve net-zero and, ideally, net-negative carbon emissions through sustainable technologies. Therefore, this Biorefining and Biomanufacturing Symposium will consider applied research and early-stage innovations from universities, labs, and startups in the following topics and application areas in response to these climate and security needs.
