In a recent study published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Professor Bin Yang and his colleagues revealed that the specially developed lignin-based jet fuel could chemically bind ...

Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden, in collaboration with scientists from Finland, Vietnam, India, and Italy, have ...

Lignin has the potential to serve as a source for fuel and chemical production, but its commercial use is limited due to the lack of efficient technologies for biomass pretreatment and lignin ...

Methods of extracting energy from lignocellulosic biomass generally involve the application of heat and/or acid treatments to separate the lignin from ... and it produces fuel with a lower energy ...

A new book details how lignin once protected algae from UV radiation, then later in evolutionary time became a structural support for trees. The following is an excerpt from When the Earth Was Green: ...

Around 98 per cent of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to ...

enabling a one-container conversion of lignin to aromatic components used in bio-jet fuel. Each finding is a step forward, says Xiao. Lignocellulosic biomass, which can be sourced from ...
