Researchers in Sweden and Spain have devised a three-step process for the conversion of precipitated kraft lignin from black liquor into green diesel. First, a mild Ni-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis using 2-propanol generates a lignin residue in which the ethers, carbonyls, and olefins are reduced. Löfstedt, J.,
