Bioprocess research and development seeks to translate laboratory results into practical industrial processes. Fundamental issues that must be addressed include mass transfer, reactions at liquid gas interfaces, use of solid phase catalysts to carry out rapid conversion of oligosaccharides to fermentable sugars, and bioreactor design for the conversion of fermentable sugars to ethanol and other value-added products. This session addressed key developments in these areas, with presentations highlighting some of the critical challenges and exciting advances that are occurring to develop bioprocess-related approaches for transforming renewable resources into various fuels and chemicals products. Several new bioprocessing concepts were also proposedsuch as enzymatic production of biodieselto better exploit the ever-increasing power of biocatalysis (both enzymatic and microbial).
