Brief Summary of Minutes

The S-1041 multistate committee consists of researchers from 33 land grant universities working on various facets of bioenergy and bioproducts such as feedstocks, biochemical and thermochemical conversion, techno-economic and life cycle assessment.

This report details the annual activities reported by university researchers in associated with various experimental stations in 29 states. The report is divided into sections focusing on impacts, outcomes (accomplishments), outputs, target audience and participants. More than 185 researchers of this committee including faculty members, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, undergraduate students, high school students and their collaborators reported active and impactful research to achieve the objectives of this multistate Committee. Members have published 210 peer reviewed papers, 13 book chapters, presented 292 presentations, filed two patents, and advised 57 PhD/MS/BS dissertations/theses in the last year.

Annual meetings of the S-1041 multistate committee are held to coordinate and share research from land grant universities across the nation. In the last few years, symposia were organized with leading researchers and speakers from funding agencies to share the latest research knowledge and coordinate future research. The 2015 S-1041 multistate committee meeting was held in OARDC (Ohio agricultural Research and Development Center), Ohio State University, Wooster, Ohio on 10-11 Aug, 2015. The two day meeting included field trips to various bioenergy and bioproduct related pilot scale testing facilities on the first day. On the second day, a symposium “Stakeholders Perspectives on the Bioeconomy” was held with a goal to develop an understanding of challenges in the evolution of the bioeconomy from a stakeholder perspective. Energy for Sustainability Program (CBET Division, National Science Foundation) supported this symposium through a $15,000 conference/symposium grant. The funds were used to provide travel support to 23 graduate students, awards for the poster competition and costs for the printed proceedings. A project website was created and the presentation from symposium speakers and the proceedings have been made available to general public at http://oardc.osu.edu/s1041/pageview.asp?id=3853.
