Intensifying the production of renewable fuels employing fundamental thermodynamics and elementary kinetics Ghent University
As fossil resources are depleting fast due to the increasing world population and associated energy and chemicals demand, it is of strategic importance to search for renewable alternatives. Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable resource which can be converted into jet and diesel fuels as well as chemicals via routes that include aldol condensation and hydrogenation reactions. At present, at the industrial scale, aldol condensations ...
