The Digest’s 2023 Multi-Slide Guide to Catalytic Upgrading of Biochemical Intermediates

The Catalytic Upgrading of Biochemical Intermediates (CUBI) project is a multi-lab effort within ChemCatBio (CCB) that is focused on improving the catalytic upgrading of intermediates from biochemical deconstruction and/or biological conversion (i.e. fermentation) to fuels and chemical co-products. This is accomplished by developing catalysts with improved performance and durability, mitigating the impact of biogenically-derived inhibitors (including water), and evaluating intensified processes to reduce separations requirements and improve carbon utilization. A team led by ChemCatBio’s Jeffrey Linger presented these slides at DOE’s Project Peer Review.
