In the drive to decarbonize chemical production, some of the most promising solutions come from unexpected places. Lignin, once largely burned for energy, is now being explored as a valuable input for ...

The researchers assessed three types of lignin: two derived from Kraft pulp with different post-treatments, referred to as L1 and L2, and one extracted from Cynara cardunculus through an aqueous ...

COLLEGE STATION – Lignin, used as a renewable resource to produce high-value products, has presented both production and economical challenges for biorefinery operations. However, a Texas A&M AgriLife ...

WSU researchers have developed a novel method that extracts lignin in its native form from wheat straw with high yield and purity, overcoming challenges of heterogeneity usually associated with lignin ...

UC Riverside Associate Research Professor Charles Cai, who invented CELF, a biomass pretreatment technology that could make next-generation biofuels competitive with petroleum. When it comes to making ...

New research highlights the influence of temperature on lignin biosynthesis in plants, with implications for global warming and sustainable resource management. In a groundbreaking mini-review, Giulia ...
