“…Fungal synthetic biology has lagged behind compared to bacteria and yeast, however, they are becoming more attractive hosts for cell factories or biomass products. 90,91 As a result, there is an increasing interest to develop fungal synthetic biology toolboxes to improve production of proteins and bioactive compounds. 92,93 In addition, fungi are becoming popular to study complex cellular processes, gene regulation, and metabolic pathways.…”

“…Due to the growing world population and rising living standards in developing nations, the demand for energy and materials is expected to continue rising in the next decades. , The current demand is mostly covered by nonrenewable fossil resources, which globally account for about 82% of the energy and 85% of the materials supply . With regard to energy, several technologies are already available for the renewable supply of electricity and heat (e.g., photovoltaics, wind power, or geothermal heat pumps).…”

The prevention of lignin repolymerization/condensation in lignocellulose pretreatment can enhance both the bioconversion of cellulose and the quality of the obtained lignin. 2-Naphthol is a very effective pretreatment additive for suppressing lignin repolymerization, which enables overcoming the extraordinarily high recalcitrance of softwood to bioconversion. In this work, new approaches for adding 2-naphthol to the steam explosion pretreatment of softwood were studied. It was found that spray impregnation of spruce wood chips with 2-naphthol dissolved in acetone or ethanol is equally effective as the usually used soakimpregnation. However, spray-impregnation allows for an eightfold reduction in solvent consumption. 2-Naphthol impregnation enabled practically quantitative cellulose conversion to glucose using an enzyme dosage of 30 FPU (filter paper units) g −1 cellulose, which corresponds to a digestibility enhancement of 89.1% compared to the control without additive. It was further disclosed that spraying of water-suspended 2-naphthol onto wood chips enabled a high glucose yield of 81.9% using an enzyme dosage of 30 FPU g −1 cellulose, which corresponds to an enhancement of 54.8% compared to the control and omits the use of solvents. An economic evaluation showed that spraying dissolved or water-suspended 2-naphthol is more cost-effective than soak-impregnation or admixing 2-naphthol flakes/powder to the biomass.

“…Common conversion techniques include biomass combustion, fermentation, gasification, and liquefaction. These processes enable biomass to be transformed into various valuable products, including fuel, electricity, biogas, and biofuels [5] . These versatile biomass‐based products find widespread use in energy supply and contribute significantly to the sustainable development of alternative fossil energy sources.…”

Furfural is a 5‐membered heterocyclic compound derived from biomass and can be converted into various chemicals and biofuels through hydrogenation. Furfural conversion invariably requires the involvement of catalysts. The performance of these catalysts predominantly hinges on the characteristics of the metal active sites, the properties of the support, and the regulation of reaction conditions. Therefore, the selection of metals and supports, the preparation methods of catalysts, as well as the determination of reaction solvents, temperature, pressure, and catalyst dosage are the factors that researchers need to consider. Based on this, this present review focuses on the production process and heterogeneous catalytic system selection of furfural hydrogenation to prepare downstream products since 2018. It provides a brief introduction to the corresponding catalytic reaction mechanisms, focuses on the effects of different metals and supports on catalytic performance, and provides an outlook on this research direction.
