Large-scale utilization of bioenergy is attractive as a potential alternative to fossil fuels only if the production and processing of bioenergy feedstocks is sustainable from economic, environmental, and social standpoints. Research into bioenergy sustainability will benefit from improved understanding of goals, progress to date, and cooperation among researchers active in multiple disciplinary domains. The 2019 Bioenergy Sustainability Conference, to be held October 21-22, 2019 in Nashville, TN, is designed to bring together scientists and engineers working on the latest advances in the field. This conference will address information gaps and solutions to bioenergy sustainability challenges including land, water, climate, and socio-economic aspects. Presentations will discuss fundamental and applied research underway to support more sustainable bioenergy. Break-out sessions will encourage all attendees to share their experiences and discuss research needs and approaches. This conference aims to provide a venue for: (1) scientific presentations from a diverse group of researchers, (2) encouraging active participation by graduate student and post docs who represent the future of the field, (3) bringing scientists and engineers together to provide an atmosphere and venue to discuss their disciplines and approaches, and to motivate new research into barriers limiting the development and sustainability of bioenergy sources, and (4) a particular focus on women, underrepresented groups in engineering, and persons with disabilities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

仅当生物能源原料的生产和加工从经济，环境和社会角度提供可持续性时，大规模利用生物能量作为化石燃料的潜在替代品很有吸引力。对生物能源可持续性的研究将受益于对目标，迄今为止的进步以及活跃于多个学科领域的研究人员之间的合作。将于2019年10月21日至22日在田纳西州纳什维尔举行的2019年生物能源可持续性会议旨在将研究该领域最新进展的科学家和工程师汇集在一起​​。这次会议将解决信息差距和解决方案，以应对生物能源可持续性挑战，包括土地，水，气候和社会经济方面。演讲将讨论正在进行的基本和应用研究，以支持更可持续的生物能源。分手会议将鼓励所有与会者分享他们的经验并讨论研究需求和方法。这次会议旨在为以下地点提供以下地点：（1）来自多样化研究人员的科学演讲，（2）鼓励研究生和代表该领域未来的文档的积极参与，（3）将科学家和工程师团结起来提供一个氛围和场所来讨论其学科和方法，并激励新的研究限制障碍限制生物能源的发展和可持续性，（4）（4）特别关注妇女，工程中代表性不足的群体以及残疾人奖的人。反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持。
