| We design and investigate catalysts for the conversion of waste lignocellulosic biomass to Fuels & Chemicals via pyrolysis liquefaction in the following projects: |
| Catalyst design - Catalyst are designed for the selective in situ catalytic de-oxygenation of lignocellulosic biomass to make a fuel compatible bio-oil. |
| Aqueous phase – Not only the use of the organic phase, but also the use of the aqueous phase is researched in situ using ATR-IR spectroscopy. |
| Different pathways to convert waste lignin into useful green chemicals are investigated. |
| Humins – Catalytic routes for the valorisation of humin by-products formed during biomass processing are investigated |
