Reaction scheme for the hydrogenation of furfural over a metal surface in water (Graphical Abstract: nature.com) .
Hydrogenation is a key process to make the many furfural by-products
In the April 2019 edition of “Natrue Catalysis”, researchers presented a novel approach to hydrogenations of furfural. They discovered a reaction pathway that results in a faster hydrogenation of furfural.
To convert biomass to value added chemical products and applications that are used in industries such as steel, wood, pharmaceutical, automotive, agricultural chemicals, industrial chemicals, etc., DalinYebo connects:
the agri (biomass) processing, the sugar and the pulp&paper industries with knowhow and technology to convert (residual) biomass to chemicals and energy.
owners of biomass with technology providers and markets, creating investment opportunities in the cleantech space.
researchers and developers of technology and/or products with new players in the biobased economy space who are in need of innovation.
