Improving Heterogeneous Catalyst Stability for Liquid-phase Biomass Conversion and Reforming

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz

Biomass is a possible renewable alternative to fossil carbon sources. Today, many bio-resources can be converted to direct substitutes or suitable alternatives to fossil-based fuels and chemicals. However, catalyst deactivation under the harsh, often liqui ...

Sustainability assessment of lignocellulosic biorefineries under uncertainty

Juan David Villegas Gomez

Biorefinery concepts refer to the integrated production of food, fuel, power, commodity chemicals, and polymers from biomass, mimicking the structure of a fossil-based refinery. The use of lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock for biorefineries has been pro ...

The Power of Bioenergy-Related Standards to Protect Biodiversity

Sébastien Haye

The sustainable production of bioenergy is vital to avoiding negative impacts on environmental goods such as climate, soil, water, and especially biodiversity. We propose three key issues that should be addressed in any biodiversity risk-mitigation strateg ...
