- Additional information
- This collaborative work with chemical engineers, chemists, and computational chemists reports the design of new catalysts, made from abundant elements, combining the advantages of the homogeneous and heterogeneous active sites. This combination lowers the local mass-transfer barriers, improves the stability, activity and selectivity at mild conditions. The global market size of pyruvate market is expected to reach $ 47 million by 2025. The work was presented as an invited talk in world bio markets conference 2018. Based on this and other biomass conversion reactions, Ruetgers resins, a German company, awarded a public-private partnership project to make biopolymers (180k€).
