Towards Sustainable Synthesis of Branched-Chain Higher Alcohols from Biobased Feedstock
Biovertol 2 is a follow-up project that builds upon a previous Catalisti project, Biovertol 1. Biovertol 1 aimed to develop renewable routes towards short-chain, middle-range and long-chain Guerbet-alcohols. These branched bio alcohols are interesting platform chemicals with compelling physicochemical properties from which a viable and renewable chemistry tree can be built. The project showed that a novel Guerbet process can be developed and that numerous applications comprising biobranched alcohols prove to hold exceptional properties. Biovertol 2 seeks to build upon these successes.
