Abstract
The replacement of petrol products for environmentally-friendly ones is a reality today, as many governments and international organizations are promoting the implementation of renewable energy sources and natural feedstocks in industrial activity [...]
Highlights
We have tried to focus on the performance of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts applied in biomass processing, paying attention to the main advantages and challenges related to each kind of catalyst
We can note, in this special issue, the wide range of uses of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, from the production of fatty acid amides [1] to the production of fatty acid esters for biodiesel or biolubricant use through different techniques and catalysts [2,3,4]
This fact points out that the use of homogeneous and, especially, heterogeneous catalysts has a wide range of possibilities in biomass processing, which will be a promising research line in the medium and long term
Summary
We have tried to focus on the performance of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts applied in biomass processing, paying attention to the main advantages and challenges related to each kind of catalyst. These challenges are opportunities to develop new research lines which can be fruitful in the near future.
