The huge amount of glycerol obtained during the production of biofuels has led to the search
of alternatives for the use of this by-product. New applications for this polyol as a low-cost …

The majority of bulk chemicals are derived from crude oil, but the move to biorenewable
resources is gaining both societal and commercial interest. Reviewing this transition, we first …

The production of renewable chemicals is gaining attention over the past few years. The
natural resources from which they can be derived in a sustainable way are most abundant in …

Production of fuels and chemicals from renewable biomass resources is an attractive way to
alleviate the shortage of fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emission. Glycerol is an important …

The significant surge in biodiesel production by transesterification of edible or non-edible
oils have caused surplus of glycerol in the market. With its characteristics, unique structure …

The increasing use of bio-based fuels and fuel additives, among them biodiesel, causes
significant surplus of crude glycerol on the market which creates new challenges in terms of …

The article underlines and discusses the state-of-the-art accomplishments in the catalytic
conversion of glycerol (1, 2, 3-propanetriol) to fuels and value-added chemicals in the past …

Cobalt oxide nanoparticles (40–50nm) were hierarchically dispersed on ZnO microparticles
(0.2–1μm) using a low-energy dry mixing method, resulting in a zinc–cobalt interaction that …

In this paper we report on the one-pot transformation of glycerol into acrylic acid, catalyzed
by W/V mixed oxides, with hexagonal tungsten bronze (HTB) structure. The reaction requires …

Biomass is regarded as an abundant feedstock for producing renewable biofuels and
chemicals. Thanks to their inherent chemical functionality and reactivity, biomass resources …
