2025 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Biomass Conversion and Biorefining II: Upgrading Biomass-Derived Platform Molecules and Lignin

This session explores innovative catalytic technologies and processes for converting biomass and its derivatives into fuels and chemicals. It covers studies on biomass characterization and reactivity, development of catalytic materials, and technologies for pretreatment and upgrading. Additionally, it includes the conversion of lignocellulose, starch, sugars, and lipids, as well as pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal strategies. Attendees will gain insights into the latest advancements in biomass conversion and lignin upgrading.
