写真
Various biomass resources such as lipid, wood, and microalgae have potential as sustainable alternative fuels. However, it is essential to improve the efficiency of conversion to realize the energy utilization of biomass resources.
Our laboratory aims to efficiently convert biomass resources to high-grade fuels and chemical raw materials using an inexpensive process. We are working on the elucidation of catalytic reaction mechanism and design of new catalyst to achieve these goals.
