1.    Introduction

Environment-EnhancingEnergy (E2-Energy) that synergistically combines algalwastewater treatment with large-scale bioenergy production viahydrothermal liquefactionand/or biochemical conversion. This system maximizes the biofuel potential of wastewater inputs by internally

capturing and recycling carbon and nutrients--a powerful concept referred to as multi-cycle nutrient reuse,which amplifies waste nutrients into multiple cycles of algal biomass and bioenergy production. It has recently received great attentions because it can simultaneously improveconventional wastewater treatment by providing nutrient removal and produce a large amount of biofuel. On this purpose, an international workshop on algal biofuels and Environmental-Enhancing Energy is proposed to be held on Dec 17, 2015 at China Agricultural University (CAU), Beijing, China. The workshop is co-organized by Key Laboratory of Structure and Environment in Agricultural Engineering, Ministry of Agriculture and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

2.    Format and language

In the workshop, there are around 7 invited speakers, and the official language is English（preferred）and Chinese.
