Technologies and Requirements for Chemical Production from Biomass

4 Technologies and Requirements for Chemical Production from Biomass 

Development of highly selective, active, and stable catalysts 

Development of the basics of the chemical reaction engineering for these reactions 

Use of existing know-how of petrochemistry, especially from the field of chemo-catalysis, keeping in mind that the processes leading to chemicals from biomass are necessarily different from those that start from fossil feedstock. 

However, there are some boundary conditions and problems that have to be considered and solved for a successful process design
