NOVEMBER 3, 2014
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have disclosed a new method to convert lignin, an important component of biomass waste, into simple chemicals. Lignin is the only large volume renewable feedstock that contains aromatics. We need to find an economical way to convert lignin to value-added materials.
