Session: Electrofuels Science and Engineering

Papers are sought that address research and development of Electrofuels. Electrofuels are transportation fuels synthesized by autotrophic microorganisms using electricity or other forms of reducing equivalents other than photons, such as hydrogen, in lieu of metabolizing reduced carbon (e.g. sugars). Topics may include but are not limited to: synthetic biological approaches for the high efficiency conversion of hydrogen and carbon dioxide to liquid transportation fuels; non-photosynthetic, autotrophic carbon fixation for biosynthesis of fuels and fuel precursors; reverse microbial fuel cells; coupling of microbial and electrochemical systems; life cycle analysis; and conceptual design and techno-economic analyses of electrofuel production processes.
