Scientists have demonstrated a new plasma-based process that converts wet coffee waste into high-performance ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Phys.org)—Scientists made a major step forward recently towards transforming biomass-derived molecules into fuels. The team led by Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers elucidated the chemical ...

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

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Biomass boilers offer the opportunity to create extra income and can make an attractive proposition to planners, as Nick Fone found out on a visit to a farm-based community heating scheme in Somerset.
