The TA-Biomass is structured around five themes: 1) Hard-to-convert feedstocks, 2) N-compounds, 3) Furan chemistry, 4) Chiral molecules and 5) Terpenes.
These topics will be studied with five defined integrative approaches:
- Chemocatalysis & Biocatalysis;
- Non-Noble Metals
- Novel Enzymes
- Analytical science in relation to catalytic biomass conversion (in collaboration with TA-COAST);
- Recovery and fractionation;
- Non-classic catalytic technologies.
