Hydrogen from catalytic reforming of biomass-derived hydrocarbons in liquid water
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hydrogen can be produced from sugars and alcohols at temperatures near 500 K in a single-reactor aqueous-phase reforming process using a platinum-based catalyst, and the findings suggest that catalytic aqueus phase reforming might prove useful for the generation of hydrogen-rich fuel gas from carbohydrates extracted from renewable biomass and biomass waste streams.

Toward an aggregated understanding of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose: noncomplexed cellulase systems.
TL;DR: It is suggested that it is timely to revisit and reinvigorate functional modeling of cellulose hydrolysis and that this would be highly beneficial if not necessary in order to bring to bear the large volume of information available on cellulase components on the primary applications that motivate interest in the subject.
