Alcohols are the most abundant functional group in nature and to develop selective and efficient methodologies would enable a transition to a bio-based society. We focus on developing methodology based on fundamental understanding of C-O bond activation in alcohols to convert biomass derived feedstocks for example lignin and carbohydrates to valorized monomeric organic compounds. Two spin-off companies have started from our academic research group.
