Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic conversion of biomass to biofuels
TL;DR: A review of catalytic strategies to produce bio-fuels from aqueous solutions of carbohydrates, which are isolated through biomass pretreatment and hydrolysis is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bimetallic catalysts for upgrading of biomass to fuels and chemicals
David Martin Alonso,Stephanie G. Wettstein,Stephanie G. Wettstein,James A. Dumesic,James A. Dumesic +4 more
TL;DR: A review of recent results published in the literature for biomass upgrading reactions using bimetallic catalysts offers the possibility of enabling lignocellulosic processing to become a larger part of the biofuels and renewable chemical industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated Catalytic Conversion of γ-Valerolactone to Liquid Alkenes for Transportation Fuels
TL;DR: A strategy by which aqueous solutions of γ-valerolactone (GVL), produced from biomass-derived carbohydrates, can be converted to liquid alkenes in the molecular weight range appropriate for transportation fuels by an integrated catalytic system that does not require an external source of hydrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gamma-valerolactone, a sustainable platform molecule derived from lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: In this article, the use of GVL as a solvent for biomass processing led to significant improvements in product yields and a more simplified process for producing biomass-derived chemicals such as LA, furfural, and hydroxymethylfurfural.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonenzymatic Sugar Production from Biomass Using Biomass-Derived γ-Valerolactone
Jeremy S. Luterbacher,Jacqueline M. Rand,David Martin Alonso,Jeehoon Han,J. Tyler Youngquist,Christos T. Maravelias,Brian F. Pfleger,James A. Dumesic +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that γ-valerolactone, a small molecule solvent that can itself be sourced renewably from biomass, promotes efficient and selective thermal breakdown of cellulose in the presence of dilute aqueous acid, and could be cost-competitive for ethanol production.
