Scientists have demonstrated a new plasma-based process that converts wet coffee waste into high-performance ...

Lignocellulosic biomass comprises the structural components of plant cell walls – cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin – and represents the most abundant renewable carbon source on Earth. Its ...

A research team from National Taiwan University, led by Prof. Chih-Jung Chen has developed an innovative electrochemical platform capable of efficiently converting biomass into high-value chemicals ...

Biomass conversion technologies encompass a suite of biochemical, thermochemical and physico-chemical processes that transform organic feedstocks into energy carriers such as heat, electricity, liquid ...

Fossil fuels are the major source of energy, chemicals and many materials but are responsible for a substantial portion of greenhouse gas emissions. To reach carbon neutrality, much of what's made ...

Behind the successful conversion of biomass to a better biofuel or a new green chemical, there is a carefully chosen solvent. The right solvent not only dissolves biomass but also drives the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers have demonstrated a new process to convert all biomass into liquid fuel, and the method could make possible mobile processing plants. The researchers at Purdue ...

Research on energy production from biomass usually focuses on the amount of energy generated. But it is also important to consider how much energy goes into the process, a component that is often ...

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 ...

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 ...

The global push for sustainable energy and carbon-neutral fuels has accelerated the innovation in biomass-to-energy conversion. Traditional methods like combustion, gasification, and anaerobic ...
