When Will 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural, the “Sleeping Giant” of Sustainable Chemistry, Awaken?

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Bring on the subs! Biorefining will be realized by using two different approaches: the production of new biobased molecular targets or sustainable access to traditional base and commodity chemicals. Awakening of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be expected with different probabilities, depending on the approach chosen to create a sustainable future.
