For years, fossil fuels have been the predominant feedstock for the production of chemicals,
resulting in their overexploitation and widespread environmental degradation, prompting a …

The synthesis of fuels, fuel additives, commercial and potential products from platform
molecules generated by the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is a promising strategy …

Furans represent one of the most important classes of intermediates in the conversion of non-
edible lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based chemicals and fuels. At present, bio-furan …

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) has recently emerged as a highly attractive approach
for achieving biomass-based hydrogenation due to its avoidance of high-pressure fossil …

Lignocellulosic biomass has been considered as one of the most promising feedstocks for
production of the second-generation biofuels and biochemicals without food and fuel …

Currently, the development of alternative and green energy sources has been being strongly
pushed aiming to recoup the lack of fossil energy, to meet the ever-increasing demand of …

Furan energy platform compounds including furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), can
be produced by hydrothermal conversion of biomass. After hydrodeoxygenation, these …

Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural stand out as bridges connecting biomass raw materials
to the biorefinery industry. Their reductive transformations by hydroconversion are key …

CO2 conversion covers a wide range of possible application areas from fuels to bulk and
commodity chemicals and even to specialty products with biological activity such as …
