3 Welcome from the Organizing Committee On behalf of the organizing committee, we welcome you to the 11th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference. From Small Steps to Giant Leaps Breakthrough Innovations for Sustainability Presenters and attendees at this year s conference will identify and discuss breakthroughs that have advanced, or will advance, green chemistry and green engineering to significant new levels of innovation. Breakthroughs Made What breakthroughs have recently occurred that open up new possibilities to green chemistry and green engineering? In these cases, conference attendees will have the chance to share knowledge on the latest innovations for sustainability. Breakthroughs Needed What innovations need to take place in order for significant advances to be made? These cases will serve as calls to action, challenging all participants to focus their efforts on achieving these breakthroughs. Green Chemistry and Green Engineering have made possible tremendous advances in the march towards sustainability. Yet for all of this progress, we know that we have unlocked but a hint of the true potential that is inherent in these disciplines. Working together, we can continue the drive for discoveries to advance sustainability. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Eric J. Beckman George M.
