“Lignin-first” catalytic valorization for generating higher value from lignin
Peter J. Deuss, Christian Kugge
Abstract
In this Activity article, Peter J. Deuss (tenure-track assistant professor of green and smart biomass processing at the University of Groningen) and Christian Kugge (R&D specialist at Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget) discuss the catalytic routes to transforming lignin into higher-value products and the opportunities for industry and academia to develop new technologies.
