A research team at Shenyang Agricultural University has developed a highly efficient biochar-supported catalyst that can convert biomass-derived chemicals into valuable industrial products under remarkably mild conditions.
OMV has partnered with Technical University of Leoben to establish a one-of-a-kind research facility where various process routes to manufacture sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are being researched and developed.
Two University of Nebraska–Lincoln scientists, partnering with American Farmland Trust and four Nebraska farmers, have established a biochar on-farm research network. It is among the first and largest in the United States.
The U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Advance Research Projects Agency on Feb. 13 announced plans to support research to develop novel catalysts to enable the conversion of biomass into chemicals.
Using a tiny, acid-tolerant yeast, scientists have demonstrated a cost-effective way to make disposable diapers, microplastics, and acrylic paint more sustainable through biomanufacturing.
