The 1st International Biorefinery Workshop was held in Washington in July 2005.

The biorefinery has the potential to revolutionize rural economies and broaden the use of biobased energy and products in world markets. To discuss this concept a joint workshop was sponsored by the United States Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the European Commission Directorate General for Research attracting leading researchers, developers, and policy makers. This workshop:

• Provided a forum for a technical review of state-of-the-art research leading to the wider development of biorefinery technologies.
• Evaluated biorefinery markets and opportunities.
• Fostered domestic and international partnerships for the development and deployment of biorefineries.
• Served to disseminate information on successful research and demonstration occurring in the U.S., Europe and internationally.

Participants included

• United States Department of Energy
• European Commission Directorate General for Research
• United States Department of Agriculture
