The efficient valorization of lignin could dictate the success of the 2nd generation biorefinery.
Lignin, accounting for on average a third of the lignocellulosic biomass, is the most …

Lignin represents a considerable source of renewable and bio-based carbon. Pulping
processes enable lignin, together with all components of the lignocellulosic biomass, to …

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 …

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 …

A sustainable bio-based future necessitates the utilization of all components of biomass
including lignin, which is the second most abundant biopolymer and a source of renewable …

Conspectus This Account outlines recent efforts in our laboratories addressing a
fundamental challenge of sustainability chemistry, the effective utilization of biomass for …

Jet turbine fuels have not been completely replaced by biomass-derived fuels due, in part, to
the lack of the aromatic and cycloalkane hydrocarbons in bio-jet fuels. Such molecules play …

In the coming decades major changes are expected in the chemical industry regarding the
utilized raw material inputs. Depleting fossil resources will gradually be replaced by …

Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) are attractive materials for their ability to generate
in situ hydrogen that may be directly used to produce target biofuel precursors, fuels or fuel …

Lignin is a robust biomacromolecule (or a polymer) that gives structural integrity to plants
and constitutes 25–35% of the woody biomass. Lignin is inedible, barely used, and contains …
