Growing the Bioeconomy
Furfural is THE Biobased Platform Chemical
Furfural has been commercially used since the 1920s.
Corncob Security
Not much has changed since the 2015 study: Corncob prices still dominate the base price of furfural.
Palm Biomass to Furfural
Date palm trees produce huge amount of agricultural wastes in the form of dry leaves, stems, pits, seeds etc.
| It’s chemical composition is suitable to make furfural.
Australia: Sugar set for ‘Energycane’ Reinvention
Sugarcane is ideal for renewables because it is fast-growing with abundant biomass.
Besides sugar and cellulose, its hemicelluloses (or the so called 5-carbon sugars, Pentoses) are an ideal feedstock to make furfural (one of the oldest bio-based chemical building blocks).
Biomass Gasification, the Lesser Known Renewable…
Why destroy biomass for energy and release Greenhous Gases, when you can create many products via the Furfural Platform Chemical?
Pulp Miller’s Strategy: Integrate Biochemicals (Furfural)
Pulp Mills are an ideal source of large amounts of ‘free pentoses’, from which furfural is made.
Plastics from sugar: the end to petrochemicals?
Europe is determined to positively transform its chemical production by replacing oil based for innovative bio based production methods
Avocado Furan: Natural Insecticide
The avocadofurans are a family of natural products isolated from avocado (Persia)
