The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) hosted a workshop on October 5–6, 2016, to gather stakeholder inputs and opinions on integrated biorefinery (IBR) development and optimization issues. More than 100 bioenergy industry stakeholders, representing public and private sector organizations, national laboratories, and academic institutions, participated in the Biorefinery Optimization Workshop. Workshop topics covered three areas of primary focus, including (1) feedstock and solid materials handling; (2) process scale-up, intensification, and cost reduction; and (3) co-product and waste stream monetization. Day one of the workshop featured a morning plenary session where key industry leaders presented on topics relevant to the IBR technology development community. In the afternoon, three concurrent breakout sessions focused on one of the three workshop topics. On the second day of the workshop, all three breakout sessions addressed the topics of stakeholder collaboration and BETO’s role in addressing biorefinery optimization challenges.
