Mahdi Abu-Omar, Purdue's R.B. Wetherill Professor of Chemistry, holds a small vial containing results of a new catalytic process that can convert the lignin in wood into high-value chemical products ...
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 ...
Taking a chemical approach, researchers have developed a two-step method to convert the cellulose in raw biomass into a promising biofuel. The process is unprecedented in its use of untreated, ...
Yet, each is rife with organic compounds that can be converted to energy through processes including hydrothermal ...
Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corporation has agreed to establish a joint venture with US decarbonisation startup Graphyte ...
Imagine the number of burnt trees left to clean up after a wildfire, or the volume of litter remaining after forest-thinning. California’s grappling with what to do with all this forest waste, ...
Kyoto University spinout completes prototype phase with 240+ hours of continuous operation, validated with TSE ...
Biomass energy is made by burning living things like trees, crop residues, and other “woody biomass” to produce electricity. Like fossil fuels, biomass energy releases loads of planet-heating carbon ...
As California works to meet climate and air quality goals, a key to the transition will come from biomass, which is renewable organic material from plants and animals. New research from the University ...
