At this time, commercial attention is largely focused on the application of biotechnology to the production of health care and other high value products. Bioprocessing also shows promise to produce low cost fuels that can address mounting concerns about energy security, international trade, urban air pollution, and global climate change. Chemicals and materials can also be made by biologically-catalyzed reactions from renewable feedstocks that are available domestically. This Twelfth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals continues to provide an annual forum for researchers from industry, universities, and government laboratories to exchange information on recent developments in emerging bioprocessing technologies. The meeting began with a session on Thermal, Chemical, and Biological Processing, followed by two sessions on Applied Biological Research. Next, topics in Bioengineering Research were presented, and a special session on Biotechnology, Bioengineering, and the Solution of Environmental Problems concluded the Twelfth Symposium. Selected papers have been indexed separately for inclusion in the Energy Science and Technology Database.
