Invitation
On behalf of the organizing committee I cordially invite you to the SNU Global Research Frontiership: The 1st Forum under the theme of Biofuel and Biorefinery from Lignocellulosics Coming into 21th century, lignocellulosic materials are newly evaluated as alternatives for fossil resources in terms of their abundance and carbon neutral resources in nature. Globally concerns and research activities are rapidly directed to the creative utilization of lignocellulosic materials for the sake of diminishing the dependency on the fossil resources as well as reducing green house gas emission. This program will include three major topics about international/domestic research trends of lignocellulosics, innovative conversion technology of lignocellulosics to biofuels and biochemical transformation of biomass to eco-friendly biorefinery chemicals. All invited speakers are internationally highly honorable specialists and will deliver the current state-of-arts in their research fields. We will expect that this forum will be an initiative to provide the best solution for need of our generation low carbon and green growthas well as to maximize our research activities on biofuels and biorefinery technology based on lignocellulosics. We will deeply appreciate for sparing your precious times and interests.
