Outline of the workshop	The purpose of the meeting is to bring together leading European and international scientists with research expertise in plant biomass crops, biomass decomposition and fermentation, and fuel production. Leading scientists will discuss the current state of the art and initiate the necessary multidisciplinary networks to tackle major bottlenecks in the sustainable and economically viable production of transport fuels from plant biomass. EPSO will publish a white paper arising from the meeting. This aims to establish the scientific cohesion and funding potential necessary for European scientists to make important contributions to sustainable energy production.
