The biochar is a solid carbon-rich, porous material produced by the thermochemical
conversion of a diverse range of biomass feedstocks under an inert atmosphere (ie, in the …

Climate change and the unsustainability of fossil fuels are calling for cleaner energies such
as methanol as a fuel. Methanol is one of the simplest molecules for energy storage and is …

Bioenergy has emerged to be among the primary choices for the short-and medium-term
replacement of fossil fuels and the reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The most …

Despite the enormous research efforts in recent years regarding lignin depolymerisation and
functionalisation, few commercial products are available. This review provides a summary …

Wastewater treatment may help to reduce water shortages, whilst concurrently recover
energy and nutrients, leading to some of the exploitation of important sources being offset …

Lignin is a promising biopolymer abundantly used in industrially valued biobased products.
But the resilient nature of lignin reinforces difficulties during its depolymerization, leading to …

Climate change-induced alterations in weather patterns, such as frequent and severe
heatwaves, cold waves, droughts, floods, heavy rain and storms, are reducing crop yields …

Lignin is widely available in biomass sources, and the aromatic structure can justify its use
as a precursor or platform for obtaining value-added compounds. However, lignin is …

After cellulose, lignin is the most commonly used natural polymer in green biomaterials. Pulp
and paper mills and emerging cellulosic biorefineries are the main sources of technical …

The circular economy requires advanced methods to recycle biomass into value-added
materials, such as lignin extraction and modification. Here, we review lignin valorization with …
