“…Accordingly, the EU has set a "Bioeconomy Strategy and Action Plan" [3][4][5] identifying, under the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation in Europe-Horizon 2020, seven priority challenges in research and innovation that can have a tangible effect on everyday life [6]. Asian countries, also due to their high growth rate of population, will be decisive for the development of sustainable biotechnologies, bio-industries and bio-refineries [7][8][9]. With the world population approaching about 9.6 billion by 2050 and limited natural reserves, the use of renewable resources is therefore essential for the sustainable supply of bio-based building blocks and materials.…”

Upgrading Lignocellulosic Biomasses: Hydrogenolysis of Platform Derived Molecules Promoted by Heterogeneous Pd-Fe Catalysts

Abstract:This review provides an overview of heterogeneous bimetallic Pd-Fe catalysts in the C-C and C-O cleavage of platform molecules such as C2-C6 polyols, furfural, phenol derivatives and aromatic ethers that are all easily obtainable from renewable cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin (the major components of lignocellulosic biomasses). The interaction between palladium and iron affords bimetallic Pd-Fe sites (ensemble or alloy) that were found to be very active in several sustainable reactions including hydrogenolysis, catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis (CTH) and aqueous phase reforming (APR) that will be highlighted. This contribution concentrates also on the different synthetic strategies (incipient wetness impregnation, deposition-precipitaion, co-precipitaion) adopted for the preparation of heterogeneous Pd-Fe systems as well as on the main characterization techniques used (XRD, TEM, H 2 -TPR, XPS and EXAFS) in order to elucidate the key factors that influence the unique catalytic performances observed.

“…First, Japan is the bioscience leader in Asia, and among the top bioscience leaders such as the European Union and the United States that see expanding the bioeconomy as a means of reindustrializing and creating wealth [29]. In addition, Japan is the most sensitive and investment efficient for high-tech bioindustry production [30]. This makes Japan a benchmark in the Asian bioeconomy.…”

This study analyzes seven bioeconomy sectors with the aim of establishing the leading contributing sectors to gross domestic product (GDP), and also determines the future relationship between bioeconomy and the national economy in Japan. We use data from World Input-Output Database (WIOD), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and the World Bank Group for this analysis. First, we use principal component analysis (PCA) techniques to identify the bioeconomy sectors that contribute significantly to the national economy. We find through the PCA that all the bioeconomy sectors that we analyzed contribute almost uniformly and significantly to the national economy. We also find forestry and wood sectors to be the most significant contributing bioeconomy sectors. We use the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test to prove the existence of short-run and long-run relationships between bioeconomy and gross domestic product (GDP). We finally use the vector error correction Granger causality model to establish a bicausality between bioeconomy and GDP in the long-run, but not in the short-run.

“…In the last few decades, industrial chemistry has accepted the challenge for the sustainable production of chemicals and energy by using renewable biomasses as starting supplies [1]. Moreover, the changes in consumer attitudes towards "green" products, as well as government initiatives for sustainable development programs and regulations, are surely the key driving factors for the development of the bio-based chemical industries and refineries [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenolysis as an Effective Tool for the Reductive Upgrading of Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin, and Their Derived Molecules

et al. 2018

Lignocellulosic biomasses have a tremendous potential to cover the future demand of bio-based chemicals and materials, breaking down our historical dependence on petroleum resources. The development of green chemical technologies, together with the appropriate eco-politics, can make a decisive contribution to a cheap and effective conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks into sustainable and renewable chemical building blocks. In this regard, the use of an indirect H-source for reducing the oxygen content in lignocellulosic biomasses and in their derived platform molecules is receiving increasing attention. In this contribution we highlight recent advances in the transfer hydrogenolysis of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and of their derived model molecules promoted by heterogeneous catalysts for the sustainable production of biofuels and biochemicals.
