Platform molecules have recently been in the focus of numerous investigations as
intermediates for transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals. Herein …

In this paper we introduce a process to produce levulinic acid from cellulose without the use
of a homogeneous acid catalyst. The process consists of 2 reaction steps:(1) non-catalytic …

This Review discusses novel catalytic pathways of lignocellulosic biomass to value‐added
chemicals including biomass‐derived sugar alcohols, organic acids, furans and …

Substituted phenols are the most recalcitrant oxygenates in conventional pyrolysis oils and
the dominant oxygenates in lower-oxygen content, formate-assisted pyrolysis oils (FAsP) …

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) is considered to be an attractive biomass based platform
chemical with high potential as a biofuel compound and as a green solvent. 2-MTHF can be …

Biomass can efficiently replace petroleum in the production of fuels for the transportation
sector. One effective strategy for the processing of complex biomass feedstocks involves …

Formic acid finds widespread applications in numerous fields, including the petrochemicals
production, rubber industry, and leather tanning process, in which the operational …

A new method for the fast pyrolysis of lignin is presented. The addition of calcium formate to
lignin prior to fast pyrolysis results in deoxyhydrogenation of the lignin during pyrolysis. In …
