GeCatS Infoday - Selective catalytic transformation of biogenic feedstocks

Lignocellulose based renewables are considered to have great potential as a carbon source for energy and materials value chains without direct competition for food production.
At the Infoday experts from industry and academia will present and discuss current trends, recent progresses and scientific-technological challenges in this field.

In addition to fermentation routes to short-chain alcohols or concepts of biomass gasification and subsequent synthesis, selective catalytic transformation will offer many opportunities for sustainable processes for chemicals, polymers or fuel components. Crucial for this purpose are synthesis strategies and concepts of reaction engineering for selective de- and re-functionalization of biogenic feedstocks and platform chemicals. Homogeneous, heterogeneous as well as bio-catalytic processes and their integration are of vital importance.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
