Author
Dionisios G. Vlachos - Presenter, University of Delaware
In this talk, an overview of modern catalytic-based technologies will be presented that may overcome challenges of traditional methods in converting biomass to renewable fuels and chemicals. Diels-Alders and dehydration chemistry will be outlined toward the production of renewable aromatics, such as para-xylene.
