1st Brazilian Workshop on Green Chemistry, Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, November 18-21, 2007.

MAIN PURPOSES:

• To install officially the Brazilian Network on Green Chemistry;

• To increase the national and international level of knowledge, cooperation and participation of researchers’ centers and private companies, to develop Green Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and Chemistry for Sustainability in Brazil.

• To generate technical subsidies for the establishment of government policies on Green Chemistry;

• To promote international exchange programs;

• To implement the Brazilian School on Green Chemistry to spread the sustainability concepts at graduate, post-graduate and technical courses for the industries;

Within this context the Brazilian Network proposes to be the institutional element to strengthen the national effort aiming to increase technological innovations at companies, research institutes and academia.

Green Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, or Chemistry for Sustainability is the concept that comprises the scientific and technological effort initiated at Environmental Protection Agency (EPA – United States) in 1991, which was addressed to the chemical industries and universities searching for the combination among technological advances and environment protection. Later in Venice, in 1998, there was a meeting involving national delegates, industries, and academia of about 22 countries. Following, a meeting was held in Paris in 1999 in order to identify areas for the development of Green Chemistry. All of this work resulted in decisions to implement efforts to promote the use of: renewable alternative feedstock’s; innocuous and less hazardous reagents; catalytic, biocatalyst and natural process; alternatives and safe solvents; design of safer chemical products based on molecular modeling; selective and easy separations processes aiming at minimal energy consumption.

Since then, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the “Consorzio Interuniversitario “La Chimica per l’Ambiente” (INCA), have promoted the publication of a book series and scientific meetings on Green Chemistry. In 2004, these two institutions published the 11th volume of that book series, entitled “Quimica Verde en Latino America” in order to promote the development of regional studies.

Within this context, the Brazilian Network on Green Chemistry is promoting the first Brazilian Workshop on Green Chemistry expecting to congregate our scientific and technological experiences in a book which will express our concern, awareness and actions to protect Nature, future generations and the tropical environment, which is, certainly the richest one in biodiversity in the planet. Finally, we welcome and sincerely thank our guest speakers, collaborators, colleagues and sponsors for joining us in this noble cause.
