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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The global transition toward sustainable energy is hindered by a critical gap between the theoretical potential of nanoscale ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forests cover about 39% of European land, or equivalent to 160 million hectares. Beyond their traditional roles in ...
