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 ...

A new study published in Biochar shows that the water naturally present in plant biomass is not merely a processing obstacle.

Suitable catalysts for converting biomass to chemicals and fuels at low cost are not generally available today. A lot of petrochemical refining catalysts could do the job—but biomass refining ...

During biomass processing, tens of millions of metric tons of lignin waste are produced each year. This wasteful sludge could be avoided by simply adding formaldehyde in the early stages of the ...

Compared with other solid fuel–fired plants, the systems and components required for handling and processing biomass appear quite familiar, but important fuel differences must be considered. A ...

Ionic liquids have emerged as versatile solvents for the efficient processing of lignocellulosic biomass into fuels and chemicals. Their negligible vapour pressure and designable solvation properties ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have developed a method leveraging artificial intelligence to accelerate the identification of environmentally friendly solvents for industrial carbon capture, ...

A new review published in Energies argues that this is where biomass and bioenergy deserve serious attention; not as a ...

Halting fossil fuel use by 2050 is crucial to avoid exceeding the critical 2°C temperature increase threshold. Fossil fuels currently meet this majority demand, raising concerns due to potential CO 2 ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Woodchuck, an AI-powered climate tech company focused on transforming wood waste into renewable energy, officially opened its flagship biomass processing facility today in Grand ...
