Improving the odds and pace of successful biomass and waste carbon utilization technology
scale-up is crucial to decarbonizing key industries such as aviation and materials within …

Lubricant base oils, traditionally derived from non-renewable petroleum, contribute
significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, oils sourced from furfural and long …

This study explores the selective ketonization of acetic acid on TiO 2, ZrO 2, and HfO 2
catalysts, focusing on the vapour phase conversion of acetic acid and its subsequent …

TiO2 is one of the most promising catalysts for liquid-phase ketonization of carboxylic acids.
As recently reported, its use significantly contributes to the overall environmental impact of …

The usefulness of ketonization reactions for the valorization of a wide plethora of biomass-
derived carboxylic acids is widely recognized; however, the full potential of this reaction has …

The rising demand for linear alkylbenzene surfactants (LAS) poses an environmental threat
as LAS are industrially produced from petroleum using corrosive acid catalysts. Cross …

Valorizing wet wastes to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can be achieved through sequential
arrested anaerobic digestion (AAD) to volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and thermochemical …

Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is a novel carbon utilisation technology aiming to
contribute to a circular economy by converting CO 2 and renewable electricity into value …

We develop a catalytic process comprising exclusively of flow reactions for conversion of wet
waste-derived volatile fatty acids to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and key aromatic …

Combining intermittent renewable electricity (IRE) with carbon capture and utilisation is
urgently needed in the chemical sector. In this context, microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has …
