The EPOBIO, an international project funded through the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) will be holding a workshop, “Products from Plants – from crops and forests to zero-waste biorefineries” on 15-17 May, 2007 in Athens, Greece. The workshop will focus on the development of second and third generation biorefineries using zero-waste feedstocks, producing multiple products from a crop and providing new opportunities for biochemicals and biomaterials. The workshop will also report the outputs of the EPOBIO project, specifically the optimization of industrial crop platforms for biofuels, biochemicals and biomaterials through the use of advanced biorefineries.
