Efficient transformation of biomass to value-added chemicals and high-energy density fuels
is pivotal for a more sustainable economy and carbon-neutral society. In this framework …

Increasing demand for sustainable chemicals and fuels has pushed academia and industry
to search for alternative feedstocks replacing crude oil in traditional refineries. As a result, an …

The drive to reduce consumption of fossil resources, coupled with expanding capacity for
renewable electricity, invites the exploration of new routes to utilize this energy for the …

The petrochemical industry grew to become one of the world's largest industries during the
20th century. It is expected that it will continue to grow, as the world's population gets …

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) of lignocellulosic biomass is a promising lignin-first
biorefinery strategy that yields nearly theoretical amounts of phenolic monomers by …

Transformation of biomass into valuable nitrogen‐containing compounds is highly desired,
yet limited success has been achieved. Here we report an efficient catalyst system, partially …

A catalytic lignocellulose biorefinery process is presented, valorizing both polysaccharide
and lignin components into a handful of chemicals. To that end, birch sawdust is efficiently …

In recent decades, there has been an increasing effort to reduce the use of fossil fuels and
oil derivatives, to decrease environmental pollution, and to counteract global warming. The …

Lignin is an alkyl-aromatic polymer present in plant cell walls for defense, structure, and
water transport. Despite exhibiting a high-energy content, lignin is typically slated for …

The production of amines from biomass is a growing field of interest. Particularly the
amination of bio-based alcohols receives a lot of attention. In this review, we discuss recent …
