A research initiative led by Professor Jaehoon Kim at Sungkyunkwan University, in collaboration with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), has made significant strides in lignin conversion.
The focus of this research is on an electrochemical process that efficiently breaks down lignin, a complex organic polymer, into value-added chemicals.
This advancement could have substantial implications for biorefinery operations, potentially improving throughput and sustainability in the production of bio-based chemicals.
