Torrefaction is a thermal pretreatment that upgrades diverse biomass feedstocks by heating them in an inert or low‐oxygen atmosphere at temperatures typically between 200 °C and 300 °C. This mild ...

Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of organic materials in the absence of oxygen, a process central to converting biomass into useful fuels and chemicals. Depending on temperature and heating rate ...

Scientists have delineated the critical atomic-scale mechanism that enables water to significantly enhance platinum (Pt)-catalyzed biomass conversion, according to a study published in the Journal of ...

A new review published in Energies argues that this is where biomass and bioenergy deserve serious attention; not as a ...

This chapter focuses on the biochemical conversion of biomass to liquid transportation fuels. It addresses the questions raised in the statement of task related to the application of biochemical ...

Amazon has made a strategic investment in GranBio, a biotechnology company developing biomass conversion technology that ...

Eduardo García-Verdugo, Mattia Annatelli and Francisco García-Cirujano. The widespread use of non-biodegradable plastics, manufactured from petroleum-derived polymers, represents one of the greatest ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester and Hebei University of Technology have identified how a new class of catalyst can break down lignin into useful chemical building blocks, offering a more ...

Biomass refers to any organic material derived from plants and animals that can be used as a source of energy. It is generally classified into three primary categories: woody biomass, non-woody ...
