John Ranieri, VP of Dupont Industrial Bioscences to Give Keynote Presentation at The 4th Biobased Chemicals: Commercialization & Partnering Conference (Sept. 16-17, 2013 in San Francisco).
- San Francisco, CA (1888PressRelease) August 05, 2013 - John Ranieri, Vice President of Dupont Industrial Biosciences, will give a keynote presentation on "Global Trends in Commercial Scale up of Biobased Fuels and Chemicals" at the 4th Biobased Chemicals: Commercialization & Partnering Conference on September 16-17, 2013 in San Francisco, CA.
Biology-based solutions offer us the opportunity to transform economies by creating new, high-performance bio-materials that use less energy to manufacture, are preferred by customers and are better for the long-term health of the economy and the environment. DuPont has lead the way in pioneering these biobased routes to traditional chemicals such as Bio-PDO™ (bio-based 1,3 propanediol), currently used in dozens of applications from personal care and cosmetic applications to deicing, carpeting and textiles. Since starting up a joint venture that today operates one of the largest renewable materials facilities in the world in Loudon, Tenn., in 2006, DuPont has continued to push boundaries and create market-driven disruptive technologies. Now, on the cusp of commercializing a non-food, renewable feedstock route to biofuels with the construction of a $200+MM cellulosic ethanol facility in Iowa, DuPont is again leading the market in bringing biobased solutions online. Hear firsthand the challenges and global trends in building this new facility and new industry. Learn about the need for partnering across the value chain, both upstream and downstream to make the momentous changes needed to introduce entirely new supply chains to the world.
As vice president for DuPont Industrial Biosciences, Mr. Ranieri is responsible for the development of a broad portfolio of new businesses that include renewably sourced materials, chemicals, fuels and enzyme solutions. As well, he oversees M&A and the business unit's joint ventures including DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products Company, LLC, ButamaxTM Advanced Biofuels, LLC, and Actamax businesses. Having joined the company in 2002 as vice president and general manager for DuPont biobased materials, John grew the segment to include a full range of renewably sourced product offerings, including the Sorona® biobased polymer and the creation of the DuPont biofuels business.
The 4th Biobased Chemicals: Commercialization & Partnering Conference will look to examine new supply chain developments and business models being adopted for biobased chemicals products. Topics include novel chemical production platforms, advantageous feedstock, end user applications, consumer products and packaging applications, securing funding and strategic partnerships, trends and challenges in commercial scale up, and what's hot in venture capital. Renewable chemical companies, biofuel companies and end market consumers will be discussing innovations in the science, technology and end-market development of biobased chemicals, polymers and plastics. Get the latest updates from investment, scientific, manufacturer and business perspectives - the highlights and the challenges to making big new things happen with special emphasis on commercialization!
