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

and will be streamed live so attendees from around the globe
can participate in the discussion. Finally, we have added an ACS
