JUNE 9-11, 2025 | AUSTIN, TX |
The United States aims to harness its abundant energy and natural resources, creating significant opportunities to enhance energy production and profitability through innovative Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) efforts focused on bioresources and refinery assets.
In response to these national priorities, the Biorefining, Petroleum, and Gas Refining Symposium will showcase applied research from refineries and early-stage innovations from universities, laboratories, and startups. The symposium will highlight advancements in the following key topics and application areas:
Biorefining perennial sorghum: Sustainable bio-based materials
Professor,Texas A&M AgriLife Research
Cellulosic biofuels: Addressing cost and land challenges while maximizing climate benefits
CTO, Director & Co-Founder; Professor,Terragia Biofuel; Dartmouth College
