2025 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Integrated Biorefineries: Technologies and TEA/LCA

This session will focus on integrated processing of a non-edible biomass feedstock or combination of renewable feedstocks to produce biofuels and value-added products. It includes integration of conversion technologies, for instance, biochemical and thermochemical technologies, process engineering, process intensification, optimization, scale-up design, and feasibility via TEA/LCA.
