17th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering in the 21st Century3

The ACS Green Chemistry Institute®Green chemistry is the design, development, and

implementation of chemical products and processes to reduce

or eliminate the use and generation of substances hazardous to

human health and the environment.

Devoted to promoting and advancing green chemistry, it is

the mission of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute® (ACS GCI) to

catalyze and enable the implementation of green chemistry

and engineering throughout the global chemical enterprise. To

achieve that goal, ACS GCI proudly welcomes you to the 16th

Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering (GC&E) Conference.

Presenters and attendees at this year’s conference will identify and

discuss technical advances in green chemistry and engineering

as solutions to some of humanity’s most pressing challenges. It

is abundantly clear we cannot meet the needs of an expanding

global population and rising standard of living in a sustainable

manner via a linear extension of our existing technology

platforms. That leads to questioning what we can do differently

and exploring the answers found in the use of green chemistry.

By applying the proven principles of green chemistry, we can:

• Designsaferchemicalsandprocessestomakethem

• Sustainablyfeedagrowingpopulation

• Ensuresafeandabundantdrinkingwater

• Reduceemissionsofgreenhousegasesandtheuseof

nonrenewable fuel sources

• Developbio-basedrawmaterialsfromnon-foodsources

• Improveenvironmentaldecisionmaking

• Measureprogresstowardsustainability

We at the ACS Green Chemistry Institute® are thrilled to welcome

yourparticipationasweworktogetherinadvancingthe

solutions to these significant global challenges.

Welcome On behalf of the 2012 organizing committee, welcome to

Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital, and the 16th Annual Green

Chemistry & Engineering Conference.

This year’s conference theme, “Innovation, Jobs, Sustainability

– The Role of Green Chemistry,” reflects our belief that green

chemistryandengineeringholdthekeytoasustainablefuture

and can play a vital role in reinvigorating the global economy.

We are again delighted to partner with the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency to recognize the 2012 Presidential Green

Chemistry Challenge Award winners on Monday night during

the Welcome Reception. This year’s event will be the first time

we incorporate award winner recognition into the reception so

everyonemayshareintheacknowledgementandcongratulations

these leaders deserve.

As our annual conference continues to evolve, we have again

expanded our offering to include a host of new and exciting

program additions: At our first business plan competition,

finalists will present their plans to a panel of judges on Tuesday

morning, and the winner will be announced during Wednesday’s

KeynoteSession.TheACSGCIwilltakeadvantageofthe

latest trend in conferences—the “hybrid” session: merging

thetraditionalin-personsessionwiththebenefitsofvirtual

participation. The Wednesday morning panel session features

world-renownedexpertsongreenchemistryandsustainability,

and will be streamed live so attendees from around the globe

can participate in the discussion. Finally, we have added an ACS
