Despite the enormous research efforts in recent years regarding lignin depolymerisation and
functionalisation, few commercial products are available. This review provides a summary …

Lignin, a major component of lignocellulose, is the largest source of aromatic building blocks
on the planet and harbors great potential to serve as starting material for the production of …

Biomass fast pyrolysis is potentially one of the cheapest routes toward renewable liquid
fuels. Its commercialization, however, poses a multi-scale challenge, which starts with the …

Biomass is any organic matter that is renewable over time. In the context of energy, this is
often used to mean plant-based materials, such as agricultural residues, forestry wastes …

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived phenolic compounds is one of the most
promising strategies for the practical conversion of biomass materials to chemicals and …

Fast pyrolysis converts> 60 wt% of lignocellulosic materials into bio-oil. The two-step bio-oil
hydrotreatment concept has had a major impact in the development of bio-oil hydro …

Deoxygenation is an important reaction in the conversion of biomass-derived oxygenates to
fuels and chemicals. A key route for biomass refining involves the production of pyrolysis oil …

Advances in heterogeneous catalysis are driven by the structure–function relationships that
define catalyst performance (ie, activity, selectivity, lifetime). To understand these …

The utilization of lignin-derived compounds is an important part of biomass valorization. One
promising way to achieve this goal is to reduce/eliminate the oxygen content via …

Biofuel or biochemical production from biomass, especially lignocellulosic biomass, is the
most promising option to replace fossil-based products to achieve sustainability. However …
