Depletion of fossil fuels and anthropogenic climate change—A review
Mikael Höök,Xu Tang +1 more
TL;DR: This article reviewed the connection between these two issues and concluded that limits to availability of fossil fuels will set a limit for mankind's ability to affect the climate, however, this limit is unclear as various studies have reached quite different conclusions regarding future atmospheric CO2 concentrations caused by fossil fuel limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel enzymes for the degradation of cellulose
TL;DR: This work describes recent developments in enzyme technology for conversion of cellulose, the most abundant, homogeneous and recalcitrant polysaccharide in lignocellulosic biomass, and focuses on a recently discovered new type of enzymes currently classified as CBM33 and GH61 that catalyze oxidative cleavage ofpolysaccharides.

Deep Eutectic Solvents: Physicochemical Properties and Gas Separation Applications
TL;DR: Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been considered as alternatives to ILs that maintain most of their relevant properties, such as task-specific character, and at the same time avoid some of their problems, mainly from economic and environmental viewpoints as discussed by the authors.
