This Review provides an overview of production technologies, jet fuel requirements, effects of lignin chemistry, depolymerization techniques, upgrading of bio-oils and challenges for catalysis ...

Lignin is arguably the most abundant component of biomass that most people have never heard of. That may be about to change. Many people are familiar with its biochemical cousin cellulose, a byproduct ...

Discoveries: Professor Utley experimenting on the breaking down of Lignin, 1987. This photograph from 1987 shows Jim Utley (then Head of Chemistry, now Emeritus Professor of Organic Chemistry) at ...

The Sustainable Chemistry research group, lead by Prof. Ilkka Kilpeläinen, concerns the valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass (mainly whole wood, cellulose and lignin) using novel and green ...
