Renewable Hydride Donors and Their Utilization in Catalytic Reduction and Deoxygenation Reactions
The production of chemicals, plastics, solvents, etc., contributes to 20 % of the Gross Value Added in the EU, where sales have doubled over the last 20 years. Despite this dynamism, the chemical industry is energy intensive and 95 % of organic chemicals derive from fossil oil and natural gas. To sustain the growth of this industry, the replacement of fossil feedstocks with renewable carbon, phosphorus and silicon sources should be encouraged. Nonetheless, such a sourcing shift represents a paradigm shift: while the development of petrochemistry has relied on the selective oxidation of hydrocarbons, the conversion of renewable feedstocks (e.g. CO2, phosphates, silicates or biomass) requires…
