ARPA-E Summer Workshops

Two ARPA-E workshops this summer may be of interest to ABO members:

Workshop: Novel Methods for Phytosequestration
Date: July 23-24, 2015
Location: Chicago, IL
This workshop will convene thought leaders in plant biology, soil microbiology, soil chemistry, biogeochemistry, computational analytics, and emerging imaging technologies to determine the most promising methods to enhance terrestrial carbon sinks. For more information, please visit the ARPA-E website. 
Workshop: Bridging Renewable Electricity with Transportation Fuels
Date: August 27-28. 2015
Location: Denver, CO
This workshop will convene leading experts in electrochemistry, catalysis (hydrogenation and dehydrogenation), fuel cells and electrolyzers, organic synthesis and fuels to identify innovative research paths forward for the development of transformational technologies that can bridge renewable energy production and transportation fuels and significantly reduce the cost of energy transportation from remote locations to consumers using energy dense liquid fuels.
