savings stimulated by high oil prices led to a decrease of 3% in CO 2 emissions in the European Union and of 2% in both the United States and Japan. The United States remain one of the largest emitters of CO2, with 17.3 At 3%, the 2011 increase in global CO 2 emissions is above the past decade’s average annual increase of 2.7%.

Consequently, first and second generation bioproduct manufacturing processes are economically challenged, particularly in light of recent low oil prices. One way to mitigate high feedstock cost is to maximize conversion into the bioproduct of interest. Jones, Alan G. Fast, Ellinor D. Carlson, Carrissa A. Papoutsakis & Bryan P.
