The latest publication in Energy & Fuels by Yannick Ureel, Marvin Kusenberg, Maarten Sabbe, and Kevin Van Geem “Compositional Analysis of Oxygenates and Hydrocarbons in Waste and Virgin Polyolefin Pyrolysis Oils by Ultrahigh-Resolution Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry” features as the front cover in the latest Energy & Fuels issue. Again thanks to all co-authors Martha Liliana Chacón-Patiño, Marvin Kusenberg, Anton Ginzburg, Ryan Rodgers, Maarten Sabbe, and Kevin Van Geem for their contributions to this work.

NEXT-STEP CBE is a 48-month European project with 12 partners focused on the development of novel bio-based chemical platforms for PLA and PU foam applications like shoe soles and construction materials. The work at the LCT will focus on the hydrogenetation steps to obtain the building blocks for the polymer applications.

Congratulations to our new 2024 LCT generation of FWO and Baekeland grant awardees who'll work on a wide variety of chemical reaction and reactor engineering topics in the area of sustainability and circularity. Stay tuned for the publications to come!
