Sustainable chemicals production and renewable feedstocks development are key components to mediating negative impacts of fossil fuels and related chemicals on the biosphere. Our research is focussed on green catalysis and sustainable chemicals for health and wellbeing in a research space that has not yet adopted sustainability as a driver of research and innovation at the university-led research level. Two biomass upgrading target feedstocks, furfural and levulinic acid, will be discussed from the vantage of how careful materials design can increase the sustainability or flexibility of chemical upgrading processes by using bimetallic nanoparticulate catalysts and by coupling different reactions for simultaneous upgrading of multiple feedstocks. The profound effect of surface species, that are intentionally added to catalysts, on selectivity in furfural hydrogenation will be highlighted. The talk will also introduce our new work on the transition from thermocatalytic to photocatalytic transformation of biomass to value chemicals demonstrating the largely unexplored topic of photocatalytic approaches as relevant for the sunshine abundant Caribbean region.
