The catalytic conversion of biomass into lactic acid and its derivatives has emerged as a promising route for the sustainable production of value‐added chemicals. Lactic acid, a renewable platform ...

Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is an internationally oriented institution of higher learning, that is committed to an educational system based on the highest standards of teaching and ...

This project aims to develop a comprehensive strategy for the efficient and total conversion of lignocellulosic biomass—such as corn stover, bamboo, and switchgrass—into fermentable sugars, ...

Research collaboration: Center for Direct Catalytic Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels (C3Bio) is a research collaboration whose article contributions are accrued to its participating partner ...

A team of researchers from Purdue University's Center for Direct Catalytic Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels (C3Bio) has developed a new catalytic process that converts biomass waste into chemical ...

A research team led by Professor Jaehoon Kim at Sungkyunkwan University and Dr. Dong Ki Lee at the Korea Institute of Science ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Increasing production of second-generation biofuels – those made from non-food biomass such as switchgrass, biomass sorghum, and corn stover – would lessen our reliance on ...

Pretreating plant biomass with THF-water causes lignin globules on the cellulose surface to expand and break away from one another and the cellulose fibers. The expanded lignin is also more exposed to ...

This review is led by Prof. Weili Dai (School of Materials Science and Engineering, Nankai University). The review provides the detailed insights into the synthesis of C4 chemicals from ...

Carpita (pictured) and Maureen McCann have developed and refined methods for efficiently converting cellulosic biomass into fuels. Their findings could be used with gene-editing technology to make ...
