Description

Solar-driven catalytic production of high-value product from waste glycerol. Sustainable bio-refining requires an efficient and economical way of utilising the surplus amount of glycerol generated as a by-product in biodiesel industries. This project aims to construct an industry-scale solar-driven catalytic system to generate high-value-added chemicals and green hydrogen fuel from biomass wastes simultaneously. The structure-reactivity relationship of working catalysts will be established to fit the up-scale applications. The gained cutting-edge knowledge and technology will significantly contribute to biomass waste utilisation and sustainable fabrication, further bringing significant economic and social benefits by creating a new competitive business for Australian chemical and fuel areas. .
