This collection brings together a selection of outstanding reviews, perspectives, papers and communications, which collectively provide a panoramic view of the fieldโ€™s current vitality. The works range from recycling of polymer wastes, substitution of polymer carbon with oxygen (or sulfur), utilization of biomass to replace petroleum-based polluting polymers, copolymerization of COโ‚‚ with other monomers, and converting polymers (either natural or synthetic ones) into platform chemicals.
In this study, the authors compare the economic and environmental impact of two biorefinery designs to convert poplar biomass to PDC, a bioplastic precursor, and ethanol, a biofuel that could be converted to sustainable aviation fuel.
This work quantifies the potential of methanol as a versatile platform for both chemical and fuel production. The authors show that certain configurations of the methanol economy can achieve the required emission reductions at costs that remain feasible. The message is clear regarding achieving a fully renewable methanol economy: advancing COโ‚‚-to-methanol technologies is central to the field's progress.
