For a world hooked on fossil carbons, the vials of amber syrup in Jim Dumesic's lab are full of sweet potential. The development of this new scheme was funded by the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research ...

Mahdi Abu-Omar, Purdue's R.B. Wetherill Professor of Chemistry, holds a small vial containing results of a new catalytic process that can convert the lignin in wood into high-value chemical products ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers have demonstrated a new process to convert all biomass into liquid fuel, and the method could make possible mobile processing plants. The researchers at Purdue ...

Biomass gasification converts organic feedstocks into a combustible gas mixture through thermochemical reactions under controlled temperature and atmosphere. Optimisation of this process involves ...

When it is completed, later this summer, the UK’s Drax Power Station biomass facility will become the largest dedicated cofiring project of its kind in the world. As U.S. coal-fired generators come ...

Sequestering biomass or the carbon captured via CCS in the production of energy is a leading contender for achieving carbon removal and net-zero emissions. The Fast Company Executive Board is a ...

Taking a chemical approach, researchers have developed a two-step method to convert the cellulose in raw biomass into a promising biofuel. The process is unprecedented in its use of untreated, ...

Imagine the number of burnt trees left to clean up after a wildfire, or the volume of litter remaining after forest-thinning. California’s grappling with what to do with all this forest waste, ...

The escalating need for renewable energy is one of the primary drivers of the biomass power generation market. Governments, industries, and consumers are increasingly turning to renewable energy ...
