摘要
The paradigm of Environment-Enhancing Energy(E2-Energy)is to produce renewable energy and chemicals from biowastes and biomass,and simultaneously improve the environment by reusing nutrients,capturing carbon and cleaning wastewater.The 1st E2-Energy Forum was initiated in 2010,Beijing,by Professor Yuanhui Zhang,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign(UIUC),China Agricultural University(CAU)and Zhejiang University(ZJU).The forum has grown to a biannual international conference in 2012 in Shanghai,and 2014 in Beijing.The 4th E2-Energy Conference was jointly organized by CAU,UIUC and Chongqing University,and convened at CAU International Conference Center,Beijing,China on July 6-8,2016.The conference was financially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(5151101167,U1562107 and 51576206),the Bill&Melinda Gates Foundation(RTTC-C-R2-01-001)and Beijing Scienceand Technology Program(Z161100001316009).
