2024 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: High-value and platform chemicals from renewable resources and wastes

This session delves into innovative research for transforming renewables and waste into high-value chemicals. It covers biological, chemical, and thermochemical techniques to produce bio-based chemicals, such as furan derivatives from carbohydrates, aromatics from lignin, oligosaccharides, and novel fermentation products, fostering sustainable solutions in chemical production.
