Track 1: Biomass and its Conversion

Biomass is fuel that is developed from organic materials, a renewable and sustainable source of energy used to create electricity or different forms of power. Biomass is a renewable source of fuel to produce energy since waste residues will always be – in terms of mill residuals, forest resources and scrap wood; and forests will always have trees, and we will always have crops and the residual biological material from those crops. Biomass offers noteworthy environmental and consumer benefits, protecting air quality, and contributing the most dependable renewable energy source. Biomass energy has the potential to moderate greenhouse warming through the provision of energy from CO2-neutral feed stocks. Biomass does not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere as it absorbs the same quantity of carbon in growing as it releases when it is consumed as a fuel. Biomass is a significant source of energy and the most important fuel worldwide after coal, oil and natural gas. Biomass conversion is mainly of two types – thermal related process and biological related process. Biomass could become an important part of future sustainable energy supplies. Many conversion types take into account the different feedstock going in due to the wide range of feedstock and the end product – heat, power, fuel, chemicals, and materials. Conversion technologies include biochemical conversion, Thermochemical conversion, pyrolysis, thermal degradation, anaerobic digestion, trans-esterification. Researchers, companies and the government are finding ways to convert biomass in a cost effective and efficient process.

Reactions play the most major role in synthesis. Green Chemistry appeals for the development of new chemical reactivity’s and reaction conditions that can potentially provide benefits for chemical syntheses in empathies of resource and energy efficiency, operational ease, product selectivity, and health and environmental safety. Some of green reaction methods include atom economy where the reaction seeks to maximize the incorporation of the starting materials into the final product of any given reaction; direct conversion of C–H bonds where transformation of the C–H bonds of organic molecules into desired structures without extra chemical conversions represents another class of major desirable reactions; synthesis without protections where organic synthesis extensively utilizes protection–deprotection of functional groups, which increases the number of steps in synthesizing the desired compounds but green chemistry is needed to perform organic synthesis without protection and deprotection; flow reactors where importance to greener syntheses is the development of tandem and cascade reaction processes that incorporate as many reactions as possible to give the final product in single operation. In biocatalysis where the potential effectiveness of various catalysts such as enzymes, whole cells, and catalytic antibodies for organic synthesis has become more recognized.

Track 7: Green Catalysis and Biocatalysis

The key objective of green chemistry is waste minimization. A sustainable process is the one that optimizes the use of resources, while still leaving sufficient resources for future generations. Catalysis is an important tool in both the cases. Catalysis is the key to sustainability. A catalyst is a substance that facilitates a chemical reaction. A catalyst is something that makes a reaction goes faster, without being consumed in the process. Catalysis is divided into three categories: homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, and biocatalysis. Although the catalysts and the process conditions in every category can be different but the principles of catalysis are the same. Biocatalysis is a special case, somewhere between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. In most of the cases, the biocatalyst is an enzyme – a complex protein that catalyzes the reactions in living cells. Green Catalysis is a part of green chemistry but the most important and one of the urgently needed challenges facing engineers now is the design and use of environmentally benign catalysts.
