Furfural to petroleum refinery diesel and jet fuels
Researchers have demonstrated how to convert furfural into a high-quality petroleum refinery feedstock. The principles for converting the furfural are shown in the above block flow diagram, using a four-step catalytic process: furfural (FAF) to furfural–acetone (2:1)...
Need for Innovation!
Patent Search suggests a need to innovate! We recently undertook a patent search and were amazed how few new patents have been registered on the topic of furfural manufacturing technologies! Below is the first page of a list of patents (from patents.com) that have...
Biomass to Pharmaceuticals
Furfural is a building block for pharmaceuticals Since in the 1920s furfural's antiseptic properties were discovered, it has not only be used for its antiviral, fungicidal and bactericidal properties. Furfural and especially furoic acid serve as starting materials for...
Plastic Bottles from Carbon Dioxide and a Furfural Derivative
What a brilliant pathway, to use CO2 and a furfural derivative, which is made from non-food agricultural residues, instead of food-based feedstock!
Introducing: Biomass.Market
A local, cloud-based trading platform that connects biomass owners with users/bio-refiners.
Bagasse and Blended Biomass Cogeneration: A Case for Furfural!
Bagasse, in our humble opinion, is a more valuable biomass feedstock for fuels, chemicals, paper, feed etc.
