See moreThe transition toward sustainable and green chemical processes is crucial for addressing the environmental, economic, and societal challenges associated with fossil-based production. Green catalysis plays a fundamental role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, lowering energy consumption, and fostering a circular economy by utilizing renewable feedstocks and optimizing resource efficiency. Among renewable carbon sources, biomass offers significant potential for producing high-value chemicals, fuels, and materials, supporting the shift toward carbon-neutral industrial practices. However, achieving efficient and selective biomass valorization requires the development of advanced catalytic strategies that maximize energy efficiency while minimizing byproduct formation.
