The use of lignocellulosic biomass in the chemical industry has increased due to its non-
competition with the food sector. Several platform molecules can be produced from this …

Catalytic conversion of renewable biomass to “green” chemicals and fuel additives has been
extensively investigated in the past few decades. Interests on two top platform intermediates …

In this work some relevant processes for the preparation of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and fuel
additives from cellulose, hemicellulose and triglycerides derived platform molecules are …

Bio-oil is a mixture of organics produced from pyrolysis of biomass. The organics in bio-oil
serve as the feedstock for the production of hydrogen, chemicals, biofuels, and carbon …

Alkyl levulinates are biobased chemicals having a strong potential to be used in various
applications, substituting current chemicals produced from petro-chemical routes. Dedicated …

Within the present contribution we highlight the feasibility of standard refinery units for the
production of biofuels from different biomass-derived feedstock. The energy densification of …

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

In recent years, substantial interest has been devoted to the conversion of biomass-derived
carbohydrates into furanic aldehydes such as furfural, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 5 …

Several copper based catalysts were prepared, characterized and evaluated for the
hydrogenation of levulinic acid and its methyl ester. Among these, nanocomposites of Cu …

Production of γ-valerolactone (GVL) from biomass-derived levulinic acid and its esters via a
catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) process over sulfonic acid-functionalized UiO-66, a …
