A study on synergies of combined pulp and fuel production

François Maréchal, Tuong-Van Nguyen, Julia Granacher, Erina Clare Mcdonald

To limit climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, a transition away from fossil fuels is required. Biofuels represent a promising low carbon alternative for sectors that are hard to electrify, such as aviation. The integration of bio ref ...

Diformylxylose as a new polar aprotic solvent produced from renewable biomass

Jeremy Luterbacher, Anastasiia Komarova, Graham Reid Dick

Lignin is a promising candidate for the replacement of fossil-based materials, due to its natural abundance and aromatic structure. This same structure poses major challenges to lignin's exploitation for material development. The harsh conditions generally ...

Techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment of a biorefinery utilizing reductive catalytic fractionation

Jeremy Luterbacher

Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is a promising approach to fractionate lignocellulose and convert lignin to a narrow product slate. To guide research towards commercialization, cost and sustainability must be considered. Here we report a techno-eco ...

Fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass to produce uncondensed aldehyde-stabilized lignin

Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago, Graham Reid Dick

Lignin is one of the most promising sources of renewable aromatic hydrocarbons. Current methods for its extraction from lignocellulosic biomass—which include the kraft, sulfite, and organosolv processes—result in the rapid formation of carbon–carbon bonds, ...

Preventing Lignin Condensation to Facilitate Aromatic Monomer Production

Jeremy Luterbacher, Wu Lan

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic polymer in nature and as such is an attractive source of aromatic molecules. Efficient lignin utilization will also likely play a key role in the economic success and sustainability of biomass valorization schemes. Howe ...

Exergy and environmental analysis of black liquor upgraded gasification in an integrated kraft pulp and ammonia production plant

Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos

Some byproducts of the Kraft pulp mills, such as the black liquor (1.4 t/t ADpulp, 15% solids), still contain more than half of the exergy content of the total wood fed to the digester. This residue represents a key supply of renewable energy to the pulp a ...
