research efforts on sustainable and renewable energy sources as alternative to fossil fuels …

Forests have multiple roles, but the role of forests in climate change mitigation has become
increasingly important due to the urgent need to reduce climate change impacts. Forests …

The production of polybenzoxazines from natural renewable materials has attracted interest
because of the environmental impacts caused by conventional petroleum-based materials …

As mentioned in several recent reviews, biomass-based furfural is attracting increasing
interest as a feasible alternative for the synthesis of a wide range of non-petroleum-derived …

Furfural hydrogenation to furfuryl alcohol is an industrially significant reaction for biomass
valorization. The hydrogenation process has been mainly catalyzed by chromite-based …

Increased energy demands in today's world have led to the exploitation of fossil resources
as fuel. Fossil resources are not only on the verge of extinction but also causing …

Methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) can be derived from non-edible biomass and used to replace
diesel fuel. MTHF can be produced through the hydrogenation of furfural using hydrogen …

The valorization of biomass has the potential to produce molecules from renewable sources.
Among them, furfural (FUR) is one of the best platform molecules due to its reactivity. It is …

The transition from a fossil-based linear economy to a circular bioeconomy is no longer an
option but rather imperative, given worldwide concerns about the depletion of fossil …
