2008 Annual Meeting

Session: Life Cycle Analysis of Renewable Feedstock-Based Processes and Products

Emphasis on cradle-to-grave life cycle assessments of existing or conceptual processes for producing value-added fuels, chemicals, and/or materials from renewable agricultural residues, plant-derived starches and oils (lipids), lignocellulosic biomass, or plant-based industrial processing wastes.
